Parliamentary Bureau Motions

The Presiding Officer (Tricia Marwick)

The next item of business is consideration of five Parliamentary Bureau motions.

I ask Joe FitzPatrick to move motion S4M-09481, on the suspension of standing orders.

17:00

The Minister for Parliamentary Business (Joe FitzPatrick)

Before I move the motion, it is worth clarifying for members that business managers have agreed to the proposal in recognition of the exceptional circumstances on this occasion. To be clear, this does not set a precedent for future occasions.

I move,

That the Parliament agrees that Rule 13.7.4 of Standing Orders be suspended for the purpose of allowing question 1 to be asked at First Minister’s Question Time on 27 March 2014 by a member other than the member who lodged it.

The Presiding Officer

I ask Joe FitzPatrick to move en bloc motions S4M-09469, S4M-09471, S4M-09472 and S4M-09473, on approval of Scottish statutory instruments.

Motions moved,

That the Parliament agrees that the Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Act 2003 Remedial Order 2014 be approved.

That the Parliament agrees that the Community Care (Personal Care and Nursing Care) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2014 [draft] be approved.

That the Parliament agrees that the Patient Rights (Treatment Time Guarantee) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2014 [draft] be approved.

That the Parliament agrees that the Renewables Obligation (Scotland) Amendment Order 2014 [draft] be approved.—[Joe FitzPatrick.]

The question on the motions will be put at decision time.
