Business Motion

The next item of business is consideration of business motion S4M-03102, in the name of Bruce Crawford, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, setting out a revised business programme for today.

14:06

Before I move the motion, I will explain to the chamber why there has been a change to today’s business. We have moved the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee debate on European strategy and other minor rule changes from this afternoon to Thursday morning because fewer amendments to the Land Registration etc (Scotland) Bill were lodged than were expected. Members who pay close attention to the motion will also see that we will start at 9.30 am on Thursday, not at 9.15 am as is normal.

I move,

That the Parliament agrees the following revision to the programme of business for—

(a) Wednesday 30 May 2012—

delete

followed by Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee Debate: European Strategy and Other Minor Rule Changes

followed by Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee Debate: European Strategy and Other Minor Rule Changes

Motion agreed to.

Before we move to the next item of business, I draw members’ attention to the jubilee oak tree that I had the honour of planting in the landscaped gardens earlier today on behalf of the Scottish Parliament. I hope that members agree that it represents a lasting token of the Parliament’s best wishes for Her Majesty the Queen on the occasion of her diamond jubilee celebrations.
