Business Motion
I ask Mr McCabe to move motion S1M-1863, which sets out the business programme.
The motion covers the business for this week and the ensuing two weeks. The main debates for this week remain essentially the same as previously agreed. However, there are two changes to this week's business: to begin today's business with a ministerial statement on Motorola and, at the conclusion of tomorrow morning's business, to have a further ministerial statement on the foot-and-mouth outbreak.
I move,
