The next item of business is consideration of three Parliamentary Bureau motions. I ask Paul Martin to move motions S3M-7515, S3M-7516 and S3M-7517, in the name of Bruce Crawford, on the approval of Scottish statutory instruments.

Motions moved,

That the Parliament agrees that the Budget (Scotland) Act 2010 Amendment (No 2) Order be approved.

That the Parliament agrees that the Fishing Boats (EU Electronic Reporting) (Scotland) Scheme 2010 be approved.

That the Parliament agrees that the Official Statistics (Scotland) Amendment Order 2010 be approved.—[Paul Martin.]

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