Business Motion
The first item of business is consideration of business motion S1M-2213, in the name of Mr Tom McCabe, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, which sets out a business programme. I call on Euan Robson to move the motion.
Before I move the business motion, I would like to thank the business managers for their help and co-operation in rearranging today's parliamentary business at short notice. In particular, I thank the Conservative party for agreeing to move its business to next week to allow consideration of stage 3 of the International Criminal Court (Scotland) Bill to proceed.
I move,
