Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament reaffirms its unwavering commitment to tackling the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss through a just and fair transition; believes firmly in, and accepts, climate science and expert advice and its importance in reaching net zero, and rejects, therefore, climate science denial.

On a point of order, Presiding Officer. On the division on amendment S6M-13759.1, in the name of Patrick Harvie, which sought to amend motion S6M-13759, in the name of Gillian Martin, on Scottish Government priorities: tackling the climate emergency, I inadvertently voted yes. I know that nothing can be done to remedy that, but I thought it important to put on the record that I should have voted no.

Thank you, Mr McArthur. You will be well aware that that is not a point of order.

I propose to ask a single question on five Parliamentary Bureau motions. As no member has objected, the final question is, that motions S6M-13781, on the approval of the proposed revised social security charter, S6M-13782, on committee membership, S6M-13783 and S6M-13784, on substitution on committees, and S6M-13795, on committee remits, be agreed to.
