The next item of business is consideration of business motion S6M-16184, in the name of Jamie Hepburn, on behalf of the Parliamentary Bureau, on changes to business. Any member who wishes to speak to the motion should press their request-to-speak button now. I invite Jamie Hepburn to move the motion.
16:59
Members will note that the motion will allow time for consideration of the stage 3 amendments that have been lodged to Christine Grahame’s Welfare of Dogs (Scotland) Bill and for two parliamentary statements relating to matters of significance and importance. I am sure that members will welcome the opportunity to ask the Government questions on those.
I move,
