Decision Time

There are two questions to be put as a result of today’s business. The first question is, that motion S4M-06244, in the name of Michael McMahon, on behalf of the Welfare Reform Committee, on the impact of welfare reform on Scotland, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament notes the Welfare Reform Committee’s 2nd Report, 2013 (Session 4): The Impact of Welfare Reform on Scotland (SP Paper 303), commissioned from Sheffield Hallam University.

The second question is, that motion S4M-06243, in the name of Fiona McLeod, on behalf of the National Trust for Scotland (Governance etc) Bill Committee, on the preliminary stage of the National Trust for Scotland (Governance etc) Bill, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament agrees to the general principles of the National Trust for Scotland (Governance etc.) Bill and agrees that it should proceed as a private bill.

That concludes decision time. I will allow a short pause to allow members who are not participating in the members’ business debate to leave the chamber quietly, please.
