The next item of business is consideration of eight Parliamentary Bureau motions. I have been informed that motion S2M-3006 has been withdrawn.
On a point of order, Presiding Officer. Could we have some information about why motion S2M-3006 was withdrawn?
That would be up the Minister for Parliamentary Business, if she wishes to reply.
I had representations from other business managers who wanted information about the decision and I acceded to that request appropriately.
I ask Margaret Curran to move motions S2M-2996 and S2M-2997, on the approval of Scottish statutory instruments; motions S2M-2998 to S2M-3002 inclusive, on membership of committees; and motion S2M-3003, on the designation of a lead committee.
