The next item of business is consideration of legislative consent motion S3M-3614, in the name of Richard Lochhead, on the Marine and Coastal Access Bill, which is also United Kingdom legislation.
Motion moved,
That the Parliament agrees that the relevant provisions of the UK Marine and Coastal Access Bill introduced in the House of Lords on 4 December 2008, relating to the marine policy statement, marine planning, marine licensing, marine conservation zones and enforcement powers, so far as these matters fall within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament, or alter the executive competence of the Scottish Ministers, should be considered by the UK Parliament.—[Richard Lochhead.]
The question will be put at decision time.
