Standards in Scotland's Schools etc Bill: Stage 3 – in the Scottish Parliament at 5:00 pm on 7 June 2000.
We now come to amendment 40, in the name of Cathy Jamieson. Please say only two sentences in moving the amendment.
I am moving amendment 40 to bring the bill into line with other legislation, most notably the Children (Scotland) Act 1995 and the Age of Legal Capacity (Scotland) Act 1991. It seeks to give young people the right to appeal
I could say a great deal more as I have campaigned on the issue for 10 years. I hope that the Executive will accept the amendment so that I can celebrate tonight.
I move amendment 40.
We have no time to take any other speakers. Will Mr Peacock indicate his position?
I am happy to accept the amendment.
Amendment 40 agreed to.
