Parliamentary Bureau Motions

The next item of business is consideration of two Parliamentary Bureau motions. I ask George Adam, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, to move motions S6M-10732, on committee meeting times, and S6M-10733, on designation of a lead committee.

Motions moved,

That the Parliament agrees that, under Rule 12.3.3B of Standing Orders, the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee, the Criminal Justice Committee and the Social Justice and Social Security Committee can meet jointly, if necessary, at the same time as a meeting of the Parliament between 1.00 pm and 2.15 pm on 2 November 2023.

That the Parliament agrees that the Rural Affairs and Islands Committee be designated as the lead committee in consideration of the Agriculture and Rural Communities (Scotland) Bill at stage 1.—[George Adam]

The question on the motions will be put at decision time.
