There are three questions to be put as a result of today’s business. The first question is, that motion S4M-14297, in the name of Margaret Mitchell, on the Apologies (Scotland) Bill, be agreed to.
Motion agreed to,
That the Parliament agrees to the general principles of the Apologies (Scotland) Bill.
The next question is, that motion S4M-14595, in the name of Derek Mackay, on the Harbours (Scotland) Bill, be agreed to.
Motion agreed to,
That the Parliament agrees that the Harbours (Scotland) Bill be passed.
The Harbours (Scotland) Bill is therefore passed.
Woo! [Laughter.]
I propose to ask a single question on motions S4M-14554 to S4M-14556, on various changes to standing orders. If any member objects to a single question being put, please say so now. [Interruption.] Order.
