The Presiding Officer:

The next item of business is consideration of business motion S3M-2928, in the name of Bruce Crawford, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, setting out a business programme.

Copies of the motion are available at the back of the chamber, but it was e-mailed to members earlier.
