Parliamentary Bureau Motions

The next item of business is consideration of two Parliamentary Bureau motions. I should tell the chamber that we ought to have notified members in this morning's bulletin that there have been two changes to the membership of the bureau. Tricia Marwick has been replaced by Fiona Hyslop and Lord James Douglas-Hamilton has been replaced by Alex Johnstone. Any member of the bureau can move the motions and I call on Fiona Hyslop to do so. [Applause.]
