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-14632, on the designation of a lead committee, and S4M-14650, on a suspension of standing orders.

Motions moved,

That the Parliament agrees that the Infrastructure and Capital Investment Committee be designated as the lead committee in consideration of the Private Housing (Tenancies) (Scotland) Bill at stage 1.

That the Parliament agrees that, for the purpose of allowing the Justice Committee to complete its consideration of the International Organisations (Immunities and Privileges) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2015 [draft], the second sentence of Rule 10.6.4 of Standing Orders be suspended.—[Joe FitzPatrick.]

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