Decision Time

17:01

There is one question to be put as a result of today’s business. Before that, however, I ask members to welcome Nicola Clase, the ambassador for Sweden to the United Kingdom, who has joined us in the gallery. [Applause.]

The question is, that motion S4M-00449, in the name of Bruce Crawford, on the timetable for the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Bill, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to,

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.
