Business Motion
Good morning. The first item of business is consideration of business motion S2M-3062, in the name of Margaret Curran, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, setting out a timetable for stage 3 consideration of the Smoking, Health and Social Care (Scotland) Bill.
It is my pleasure to move the motion in Margaret Curran's name.
I move,
That the Parliament agrees that, during Stage 3 of the Smoking, Health and Social Care (Scotland) Bill, debate on groups of amendments shall, subject to Rule 9.8.4A, be brought to a conclusion by the time limits indicated (each time limit being calculated from when the Stage begins and excluding any periods when other business is under consideration or when the meeting of the Parliament is suspended or otherwise not in progress):
Groups 1 to 4 – 55 minutes
Groups 5 to 7 – 1 hour and 20 minutes
Groups 8 to 10 – 2 hours
Groups 11 to 13 – 3 hours.
That is the best speech that George Lyon has ever made.
It is the shortest speech he has ever made.
Motion agreed to.
