Decision Time

There are two questions to be put as a result of today’s business. The first is, that motion S6M-00474, in the name of George Adam, on temporary amendment to standing orders, be agreed to.

Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament agrees that, with effect from 30 June 2021, Temporary Standing Orders Rule 3 be amended—

(a) in paragraph 1 to delete “from the date of dissolution until either such time as the newly elected Parliamentary corporation has taken a decision on public access to the Parliament, Holyrood or 30 June 2021, whichever is the earlier” and insert “until 9 October 2021

(b) in paragraph 2 to delete “those timescales” and insert “9 October 2021”.

I propose to put a single question on the three Scottish statutory instrument motions, unless any member objects.

The final question is, that motions S6M-00476, S6M-00477 and S6M-00478, on approval of SSIs, be agreed to.

Motions agreed to,

That the Parliament agrees that the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (International Travel) (Scotland) Amendment (No. 12) Regulations 2021 (SSI 2021/230) be approved.

That the Parliament agrees that the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (Restrictions and Requirements) (Local Levels) (Scotland) Amendment (No. 25) Regulations 2021 (SSI 2021/224) be approved.

That the Parliament agrees that the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (Restrictions and Requirements) (Local Levels) (Scotland) Amendment (No.26) Regulations 2021 (SSI 2021/227) be approved.

That concludes decision time.
