The next item of business is consideration of 14 Parliamentary Bureau motions. I ask Patricia Ferguson to move motions S2M-1734 to S2M-1747, on the membership of committees.
I point out to the Parliament that I am moving 14 motions to allow members of the Scottish National Party to be moved around committees, but only five members of the SNP are present. Although I acknowledge that the SNP members have legitimate business elsewhere—at their conference in Inverness—I congratulate the five who are here on making the best decision and choosing their location wisely. [Interruption.] Mr Swinney has obviously found the voice that he did not have at the conference. I wonder whether the SNP has left behind its hardier members: those who can tolerate a crowd.
