Decision Time
Johnstone, Alison NPA Lothian Watch on SPTV

I propose to ask a single question on five Parliamentary Bureau motions.

As no member has objected, the question is, that motions S6M-09503 and S6M-09504, on approval of Scottish statutory instruments; motions S6M-09505 and S6M-09524, on designation of a lead committee; and motion S6M-09538, on committee membership, all in the name of George Adam, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, be agreed to.

Motions agreed to,

That the Parliament agrees that the Forced Marriage etc. (Protection and Jurisdiction) (Scotland) Act 2011 (Application to Civil Partnerships and Consequential Provision) Order 2023 [draft] be approved.

That the Parliament agrees that the Police Negotiating Board for Scotland (Constitution, Arbitration and Qualifying Cases) Regulations 2023 [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 on the Online Safety Bill.

That the Parliament agrees that the Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee be designated as the lead committee in consideration of the Visitor Levy (Scotland) Bill at stage 1.

That the Parliament agrees that Kenneth Gibson be appointed to replace Keith Brown as a member of the Finance and Public Administration Committee.
