Parliamentary Bureau Motions

The Presiding Officer (Tricia Marwick)

The next item of business is consideration of two Parliamentary Bureau motions. I ask Joe FitzPatrick to move motions S4M-12168, on the draft Local Government Finance (Scotland) Order 2015, and S4M-12183, on a suspension of standing orders.

Motions moved,

That the Parliament agrees that the Local Government Finance (Scotland) Order 2015 [draft] be considered by the Parliament.

That the Parliament agrees that, for the purpose of consideration of the Community Charge Debt (Scotland) Bill:

(a) Rule 9.5.3A and Rule 9.5.3B of Standing Orders be suspended; and

(b) in Rule 9.10.2, the words “except on a final lodging-day, when amendments may be lodged only until 12:00” be suspended.—[Joe FitzPatrick].

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