Parliamentary Bureau Motions

The Deputy Presiding Officer (Mr George Reid):

The next item of business is the consideration of Parliamentary Bureau motions.

I see that Euan Robson is not here. Let us wait 30 seconds, to see whether he arrives.

I am very sorry, but I think that we will have to suspend the meeting until we can find Mr Robson.

On a point of order, Presiding Officer. Could some other member of the Executive not move the motions?

The Deputy Presiding Officer:

That is what I have been trying to determine for the past 30 seconds, Mr Canavan. I may have to suspend the meeting for two minutes. [Interruption.]

We now have someone who will move the motions: I ask Tricia Marwick to move motion S1M-1977, in the name of Mr Tom McCabe on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, on the timetabling of the stage 3 consideration of the Convention Rights (Compliance) (Scotland) Bill.

Motion moved,

That the Parliament agrees that the time for consideration of Stage 3 of the Convention Rights (Compliance) (Scotland) Bill be allocated as follows, so that debate on each part of the proceedings, if not previously brought to a conclusion, shall be brought to a conclusion on the expiry of the specified period (calculated from the time when Stage 3 begins)—

Group 1 to Group 3—no later than 50 minutes

Group 4 to Group 8—no later than 1 hour 20 minutes

Group 9 to Group 15—no later than 2 hours

Motion to pass the Bill—no later than 2 hours 30 minutes.—[Tricia Marwick.]

Motion agreed to.

I now ask Tricia Marwick to move motion S1M-1973, in the name of Mr Tom McCabe on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, on the designation of a lead committee.

Motion moved,

That the Parliament agrees the following designation of Lead Committee—

the Justice 2 Committee to consider the Sex Offenders (Notification Requirements) (Prescribed Police Stations) (Scotland) (No 2) Regulations 2001 (SSI 2001/190).—[Tricia Marwick.]

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