Business Motion
The next item of business is consideration of business motion S2M-1477, in the name of Patricia Ferguson, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, setting out a business programme.
Before I move the business motion, I should lay out for members what will happen during tomorrow's business.
Thank you.
Tomorrow, we will resume after lunch at 1.30 pm. During the debate on the motion that the Antisocial Behaviour etc (Scotland) Bill be passed, we will request an extension to give members one hour for that debate. I understand that that will require me to move two procedural motions, the first of which will seek to move decision time and the other to extend the debate. Depending on the progress that is made on amendments, decision time could be moved to 6.15 pm tomorrow evening.
I move,
