Agriculture Bill

The Presiding Officer (Ken Macintosh)

The next item of consideration is legislative consent motion S5M-22591, on the Agriculture Bill, which is United Kingdom legislation. I call Graeme Dey to move the motion on behalf of the Cabinet Secretary for Rural Economy and Tourism, Fergus Ewing.

Motion moved,

That the Parliament agrees that the provisions related to food security, organic products, animal identification and traceability, fertilisers and the red meat levy in the Agriculture Bill, introduced into the House of Commons on 16 January 2020, so far as these matters fall within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament and alter the executive competence of the Scottish Ministers, should be considered by the UK Parliament.—[Graeme Dey]

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