Decision Time

There are two questions to be put as a result of today’s business. The first question is, that motion S6M-20487, in the name of Kenneth Gibson, on behalf of the Finance and Public Administration Committee, on the Scottish budget 2026-27, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament notes the pre-budget scrutiny undertaken by the Finance and Public Administration Committee, and other parliamentary committees.

I propose to ask a single question on three Parliamentary Bureau motions. No member objects, so the question is, that motions S6M-20499 and S6M-20500, on approval of Scottish statutory instruments, and motion S6M-20501, on committee membership, in the name of Graeme Dey, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, be agreed to.

Motions agreed to,

That the Parliament agrees that the Hydrolysis (Scotland) (No. 1) Regulations 2026 [draft] be approved.

That the Parliament agrees that the Hydrolysis (Scotland) (No. 2) Regulations 2026 [draft] be approved.

That the Parliament agrees that Rhoda Grant be appointed to replace Paul O’Kane as a member of the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee.

That concludes decision time.

Members’ business will be published tomorrow, 22 January 2026, as soon as the text is available.
