S5M-14720.2 Jamie Greene: ScotRail Break Clause As an amendment to motion S5M-14720 — in the name of Colin Smyth (ScotRail Break Clause), leave out from "believes" to end and insert "notes wide acceptance that current ScotRail performance is not meeting passengers' expectations, as evidenced by its failure to meet its contractual Public Performance Measures (PPM) over the last two quarters, reaching its lowest performance in two decades in September 2018 with a PPM measurement of 87.5%; notes the decision taken by the Scottish Government in August 2018 to reduce the target to 87.18% in order to avoid a breach of contract, and the further decision taken in October 2018 to implement a ministerial waiver on enforcing the ScotRail performance targets from June 2019; notes that there are multiple reasons for delays to services, and calls on the Scottish Government to commit to continued monitoring of performance to ensure that the franchise meets its contractual obligations with a view to making a full assessment and evaluation prior to the 2020 break clause, and to report to the Parliament in a transparent and timely manner its intentions with regard to the ScotRail franchise, paying due regard to ScotRail staff, passengers and value for public money being at the heart of any decision." followed by Business Motions S5M-14761 Graeme Dey on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau: Business Motion— That the Parliament agrees to the following revision to the programme of business for Thursday 15 November 2018— delete Wednesday 14 November 2018 4 Today's Business Future Business Motions & Questions Legislation Other Gnothaichean an-diugh Gnothaichean ri teachd Gluasadan agus Ceistean Reachdas Eile Chamber | Seòmar 2.30 pm Scottish Government Debate: Physical Activity, Diet and Healthy Weight insert 2.30 pm Ministerial Statement: Update from the Scottish Government on the proposed UK/EU Withdrawal Agreement and Political Declaration followed by Scottish Government Debate: Physical Activity, Diet and Healthy Weight S5M-14738 Graeme Dey on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau: Business Motion That the — Parliament agrees— (a) the following programme of business— Tuesday 20 November 2018 2.00 pm Time for Reflection followed by Parliamentary Bureau Motions followed by Topical Questions (if selected) followed by Ministerial Statement: Implementation of Best Start Grant followed by Scottish Government Debate: Developing Scotland s Digital Industries for our ’ Economic Future followed by Business Motions followed by Parliamentary Bureau Motions followed by Committee Announcements 5.00 pm Decision Time followed by Members Business ’ Wednesday 21 November 2018 2.00 pm Parliamentary Bureau Motions 2.00 pm Portfolio Questions: Justice and the Law Officers;
