Decision Time
Johnstone, Alison NPA Lothian Watch on SPTV

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-12230, on substitution on committees, and motion S6M-12231, on committee membership, in the name of George Adam, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, be agreed to.

Motions agreed to,

That the Parliament agrees that Emma Harper be removed as the Scottish National Party substitute on the Rural Affairs and Islands Committee.

That the Parliament agrees that Elena Whitham be appointed to replace Jim Fairlie as a member of the Rural Affairs and Islands Committee; and Emma Harper be appointed to replace Karen Adam as a member of the Rural Affairs and Islands Committee.
