Business Motion
I understand that Mr McCabe wants to move a motion without notice.
Sir David, I seek your permission to move a motion without notice on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau.
I am minded to accept such a motion. Is it agreed that we accept a motion without notice, relating to the business?
Members indicated agreement.
I call Mr McCabe to move business motion S1M-1178, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, to set out a revised business programme.
The motion is to set out a revision to the business programme that we agreed last week. The main change to today's business is the substitution of the business that has been agreed with a statement on the developing fuel situation in Scotland, followed by questions for clarification only, which will be followed by a debate. The effect will be to move the ministerial statement on the Executive's programme to tomorrow afternoon.
I move,
