Business Motion
The next item of business is consideration of business motion S1M-299.
The motion is printed in today's bulletin. I would like to highlight that on Wednesday 24 November decision time has been moved to 5.30 pm. That is to facilitate an extended debate on land reform and is being done in response to requests made by members. As members will know, land reform is a very important issue and the bill will not be introduced to Parliament until next year. Members have not yet had an opportunity to discuss the issue, so I hope that members understand why decision time has been moved.
I move,

My screen indicates that Marilyn Livingstone wants to speak on this. Is that an error?
I think that it is. I was one of the nine who were not called to speak earlier.
The question is, that business motion S1M-299 be agreed to.
