Item of business
Decision Time
There is one question to be put as a result of today’s business. Unless any member objects, I propose to ask a single question on two Parliamentary Bureau motions.
As no member objects, the question is, that motion S6M-17266, on committee membership, and motion S6M-17267, on substitution on committees, in the name of Jamie Hepburn, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, be agreed to. Are we agreed?
Members: No.
