Item of business
Parliamentary Bureau Motion
The motion will put in place a committee to examine the section 30 order that resulted from the Edinburgh agreement—which was discussed earlier in the chamber—the referendum bill, and its implementation and any associated legislation. Although members may have different views on, and desires for, the outcome of the referendum, I am sure that all members on the committee and across Parliament will work hard to ensure that the committee is diligent in its duties on behalf of the people of Scotland.
I move,
That the Parliament shall establish a committee of the Parliament as follows:
Name of Committee: Referendum (Scotland) Bill Committee.
Remit: To consider matters relating to The Scotland Act 1998 (Modification of Schedule 5) Order 2013, the Referendum (Scotland) Bill, its implementation and any associated legislation.
Duration: Until 31 December 2014.
Number of members: 11.
Convenership: The Convener will be a member of the Scottish National Party and the Deputy Convener will be a member of the Scottish Labour Party.
Membership: Bruce Crawford, Annabelle Ewing, Linda Fabiani, Stewart Maxwell, Stuart McMillan, Rob Gibson, James Kelly, Patricia Ferguson, Annabel Goldie, Tavish Scott, Patrick Harvie.
