Item of business
Digital Assets (Scotland) Bill: Stage 3
The next item of business is stage 3 proceedings on the Digital Assets (Scotland) Bill.
In dealing with the amendments, members should have the bill as amended at stage 2—SP bill 75A—the marshalled list and the groupings of amendments. The division bell will sound and proceedings will be suspended for around five minutes for the first division at stage 3. The period of voting for the first division will be 30 seconds. Thereafter, I will allow a voting period of one minute for the first division after a debate.
Members who wish to speak in the debate on any group of amendments should press their request-to-speak button as soon as possible after I call the group.
