There is only one question to be put as a result of today’s business. The question is, that motion S4M-11840, in the name of Michael McMahon, on welfare reform and the Smith Commission, be agreed to. Are we agreed?
Motion agreed to,
That the Parliament notes the Welfare Reform Committee’s 2nd Report 2014 (Session 4), Food Banks and Welfare Reform (SP Paper 537), its 4th Report 2014 (Session 4), Interim Report on The New Benefit Sanctions Regime: Tough Love or Tough Luck? (SP Paper 552) and the welfare proposals contained in the Report of the Smith Commission for further devolution of powers to the Scottish Parliament.
I take this opportunity to wish all members a peaceful, happy Christmas and a good new year. It has been a momentous year for Scotland and for the Scottish Parliament, and I hope that you take the opportunity that is given to you over these next two weeks to have a bit of rest and time with your families. I wish you all the best.
