The next item of business is consideration of the financial resolution in respect of the Scottish Parliamentary Standards Commissioner Bill. I would ask Andy Kerr to move motion S1M-3020, but I cannot see him. In Andy Kerr's absence, perhaps the Deputy First Minister will move the motion.
Motion moved,
That the Parliament, for the purposes of any Act of the Scottish Parliament resulting from the Scottish Parliamentary Standards Commissioner Bill, agrees to any expenditure payable out of the Scottish Consolidated Fund in respect of—
(a) the appointment of the Scottish Parliamentary Standards Commissioner and any staff appointed to assist the Commissioner;
(b) salaries for, and other staff costs of, the Commissioner and any such staff; and
(c) the administrative costs incurred in the discharge of the Commissioner's functions.—[Mr Jim Wallace.]
