  • Submitted by: Jenny Gilruth, Mid Fife and Glenrothes, Scottish National Party
  • Date lodged: Monday, 02 February 2026
  • Motion type: Motion For Debate
  • Motion reference: S6M-20645
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Tuesday, 03 February 2026

That the Parliament agrees that the relevant provisions of the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, introduced in the House of Commons on 17 December 2024, and subsequently amended, relating to the new clause to be inserted after clause 64, which grants powers to the Scottish Ministers to make provision that is consequential on devolved aspects of clause 11 (Use of accommodation for deprivation of liberty), so far as these matters alter the executive competence of the Scottish Ministers, should be considered by the UK Parliament.
