Sentencing Bill The next item of business is a debate on motion S6M-20174, in the name of Angela Constance, which is a legislative consent motion on the Sentencing Bill, which is United Kingdom legislation. 14:00 I extend my thanks to the Parliament’s authorities for their co-operation in expediting the work on this motion, which will enable the Parliament’s position to be communicated to the United Kingdom Government before the conclusion of the bill’s progress at the House of Lords in early January.
