Item of business
Decision Time
I propose to ask a single question on two Parliamentary Bureau motions. Does any member object?
As no member objects, the final question is, that motion S6M-06564, on approval of a Scottish statutory instrument, and motion S6M-06565, on the designation of a lead committee, be agreed to.
Motions agreed to,
That the Parliament agrees that the Scottish Biometrics Commissioner Act 2020 (Code of Practice) (Appointed Day) (Scotland) Regulations 2022 [draft] be approved.
That the Parliament agrees that the Criminal Justice Committee be designated as the lead committee in consideration of the legislative consent memorandum in relation to the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Bill (UK Legislation).
