The next item of business is consideration of Parliamentary Bureau motions. I ask Tom McCabe formally to move the following motions: S1M-708, on the days on which the office of the clerk will be open; S1M-709 and S1M-710, on the designation of lead committees; and S1M-711, on the membership of committees.
Motions moved,
That the Parliament agrees that between 1 May 2000 and 7 January 2001 (inclusive) the office of the Clerk will be open on all days except: Saturdays and Sundays, 1 May, 26 May, 29 May, 1 December, 22 December, 24 December (PM), 25 December, 26 December, 1 January 2001 and 2 January 2001.
That the Parliament agrees the following designation of Lead Committees—
The Transport and the Environment Committee to consider The Scotland Act 1998 (Agency Arrangements) (Specification) Order 2000, SI 2000/745.
That the Parliament agrees that the Rural Affairs Committee be the lead committee in the consideration of the National Parks (Scotland) Bill and that the Bill should also be considered by the Transport and the Environment Committee.
That the Parliament agrees that John Scott be appointed to the Public Petitions Committee.—[Mr McCabe.]
Votes on those motions will be taken at decision time. Although they have been formally moved, there is a slight error in motion S1M-708. The reference to 24 December should not be there, as that day is a Sunday. The motion should read "22 December (PM)".
