Parliamentary Bureau Motion

The next item of business is consideration of a Parliamentary Bureau motion. I ask Paul Martin to move motion S4M-00449, in the name of Bruce Crawford, on the timetable for the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Bill.

Motion moved,

That the Parliament agrees that, for the purposes of Stages 2 and 3, the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Bill be no longer treated as an Emergency Bill, and that—

(a) for the purposes of Rule 9.7.1, the Justice Committee be designated as lead committee; and

(b) consideration at Stage 2 be completed by 11 November 2011.—[Paul Martin.]

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