Public Bodies Bill
The next item of business is consideration of motion S3M-8125, in the name of John Swinney, on a legislative consent motion on the Public Bodies Bill, which is United Kingdom legislation.
Motion moved,
That the Parliament agrees that the relevant provisions of the Public Bodies Bill, introduced in the House of Lords on 28 October 2010, that relate to certain public bodies and offices, to the extent that these bodies and office holders exercise functions in Scotland that would be within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament or in respect of which the Scottish Ministers exercise executive powers, and the power of consent for the Scottish Parliament, should be considered by the UK Parliament.—[John Swinney.]
The question on the motion will be put at decision time.
