Decision Time
Unless any member objects, I propose to ask a single question on two Parliamentary Bureau motions.
As no member objects, the final question is, that motions S6M-18006, on approval of an SSI, and S6M-18007, on designation of a lead committee, in the name of Jamie Hepburn, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, be agreed to.
Motions agreed to,
That the Parliament agrees that the Environmental Regulation (Enforcement Measures) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2025 [draft] be approved.
That the Parliament agrees that the Finance and Public Administration Committee be designated as the lead committee in consideration of the Building Safety Levy (Scotland) Bill at stage 1.
