I will explain where the change is, as it would be useful for members to know that. To enable us to consider all the proposed amendments to the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Bill at stage 3, it was decided yesterday that we need to move the business around a bit, finishing the morning’s business at around 12:45 and recommencing at 14:45.

Also, when I moved the business motion last week, I promised that I would do all that I could to fit in a ministerial statement on the Rio+20 earth summit, and that will now be scheduled for first thing on Thursday morning.

I move,
