We have a couple of Parliamentary Bureau motions to deal with before we start the debate. I ask Euan Robson to move motion S1M-2229, in the name of Mr Tom McCabe, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, on the business programme for today.
Motion moved,
That the Parliament agrees as a revision to the Business Programme agreed on 13 September 2001:
Wednesday 19 September 2001
after Decision Time, delete all and insert
followed by Members' Business—debate on the subject of S1M-2088—Irene McGugan: Waste Incinerators.—[Euan Robson.]
Does Mike Russell want to speak against the motion?
No.
Then do not press your button. Tricia Marwick also pressed her button.
They are too keen.
Order.
Motion agreed to.
I ask Euan Robson to move motion S1M-2230, in the name of Mr Tom McCabe, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, on the remit for the Local Government Committee.
Motion moved,

To consider and report on matters relating to (a) local government (including local government finance) and (b) other matters (excluding finance other than local government finance) which fall within the responsibility of the Minister for Finance and Local Government.—[Euan Robson.]
