The next item of business is consideration of motion S4M-12319, in the name of Michael Matheson, on the Serious Crime Bill, which is United Kingdom legislation.

Motion moved,

That the Parliament agrees that the amended provisions of the Serious Crime Bill introduced in the House of Lords on 6 June 2014, relating to the prevention or restriction of use of communications devices by prisoners, so far as these matters fall within the competence of the Scottish Parliament, should be considered by the UK Parliament.—[Michael Matheson.]
