Education, Children and Young People Committee

Education (Scotland) Bill: Stage 2

Meeting date: 23 April 2025

Douglas Ross

The next agenda item is consideration of the Education (Scotland) Bill at stage 2, day 1. I welcome Jenny Gilruth, Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills, along with her supporting officials. The officials who are seated at the table are here to support the cabinet secretary, but are not able to speak in the debates on the amendments. Members should, therefore, direct their comments or questions for the Scottish Government to the cabinet secretary.

Before we begin, I will briefly explain, for anyone who is watching, the procedure that we will follow. The amendments that have been lodged have been grouped together. There will be one debate on each group of amendments. I will call the member who lodged the lead amendment in the group to speak to and move that amendment, and to speak to all other amendments in the group. I will then call any other members who have lodged amendments in that group. Members who have not lodged amendments in the group but who wish to speak should catch my attention during the deliberations on that group. I will then invite the cabinet secretary, if she has not already spoken on the group, to contribute to the debate.

The debate on the group will be concluded when I invite the member who moved the lead amendment to wind up. Following the debate on each group, I will check whether the member who moved the lead amendment in the group wishes to press it to a vote or withdraw it. If they wish to press ahead, I will put the question on that amendment. If a member wishes to withdraw their amendment after it has been moved, they must seek the agreement of other members to do so. If any member present objects, the committee immediately moves to a vote on the amendment. If any member does not want to move their amendment, they should, when called, say, “Not moved”. I ask members to note that any other member present may move such an amendment. If no one moves the amendment, I will immediately call the next amendment on the marshalled list.

Only committee members are allowed to vote. Voting in any division will be by a show of hands, and it is important that members keep their hands clearly raised until the clerks have recorded the vote.

Finally, the committee is required to indicate formally that it has considered and agreed each section of the bill, so I will put the question on each section at the appropriate point.

With that, we move to the substantive business.

Section 1 agreed to.
