Point of Order

Michael Russell (South of Scotland) (SNP):

On a point of order, Presiding Officer. I draw your attention to page 8 of today's business bulletin and to the motion in the name of Patricia Ferguson on the membership of committees. It is almost unbelievable that the motion refers to a replacement for Cathy Peattie on the Education, Culture and Sport Committee. I admire Cathy Peattie—I like Cathy Peattie. However, the motion makes an assumption about something that the chamber may or may not agree to later today. That is an abuse of the chamber and should not be permitted.

With respect, the motion makes no such assumption. It makes a straightforward proposal to replace one member with another. That is perfectly normal.
