Parliamentary Bureau Motions

The Deputy Presiding Officer (Elaine Smith)

The next item of business is consideration of two Parliamentary Bureau motions. I ask Joe FitzPatrick to move motions S4M-12987 and S4M-12988, on the designation of lead committees.

Motions moved,

That the Parliament agrees that the Health and Sport Committee be designated as the lead committee in consideration of the Alcohol (Licensing, Public Health and Criminal Justice) (Scotland) Bill at stage 1.

That the Parliament agrees that the Devolution (Further Powers) Committee be designated as the lead committee in consideration of the Scottish Elections (Reduction of Voting Age) Bill at stage 1.—[Joe FitzPatrick.]

The question on the motions will be put at decision time.
