Parliamentary Bureau Motion

The Presiding Officer (Sir David Steel):

The next item of business is consideration of a Parliamentary Bureau motion. Before I ask Tom McCabe to move motion S1M-1936, I point out that there is a printing error in the business bulletin. The rule that is referred to should be 9.5.3B—the B is missing.

The Minister for Parliament (Mr Tom McCabe):

As members will know, there is a requirement for a minimum period of time between stage 2 and stage 3 consideration of a bill. Following two public holidays, the period between stage 2 and stage 3 of the Regulation of Care (Scotland) Bill will be only eight days. As a result, we ask the Parliament to suspend standing order 9.5.3B so that we can move to stage 3 consideration of the bill on 30 or 31 May.

I move,

That the Parliament agrees that Rule 9.5.3B is suspended for the purpose of taking Stage 3 of the Regulation of Care (Scotland) Bill.
