Parliamentary Bureau Motions

Our next item of business is consideration of Parliamentary Bureau motions. I ask Euan Robson to move business motion S1M-2003.

Before moving the business motion, I draw members' attention to two changes to this week's business. This morning's business will end at 12 noon, rather than at 12.30, to allow for preparations for President Mbeki's address to the Parliament. Business will resume at 2 pm. The other changes are as set out in the business bulletin.

I move,

That the Parliament agrees the following revisions to the Business Motion agreed on 6 June 2001:

Wednesday 13 June 2001

after Stage 3 Debate on the Housing (Scotland) Bill, delete:

2.30 pm Continuation of Stage 3 Debate on the Housing (Scotland) Bill
