Motions moved,

That the Parliament agrees that the Construction Contracts (Scotland) Exclusion Order 2011 [draft] be approved.

That the Parliament agrees that the Scheme for Construction Contracts (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2011 [draft] be approved.

That the Parliament agrees that Rule 12.3.3A of Standing Orders be suspended for the purpose of allowing the Scotland Bill Committee to meet on Thursday 17 November 2011 to take evidence from Scottish and UK ministers.

That the Parliament agrees that the Office of the Clerk be closed on 28, 29 and 30 December 2011.—[Bruce Crawford.]

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