Motions and amendments are normally printed the day after they are lodged. If an amendment is lodged to a motion then the original motion will appear alongside the amendment, along with any support lodged that day, in this section.
Each Monday, this section also contains all motions and amendments lodged the previous week that are still live and any motions and amendments that have been lodged for debate in the coming week. A motion or amendment is live if it has not been debated, withdrawn or otherwise deleted from the list.
Where a motion or amendment has been withdrawn, it is indicated in this section the day after it has been withdrawn. Support for motions and amendments received after they are lodged is shown at the end of this section the day after such support is received.
Motions and amendments can be published with various symbols
- Asterisks before the motion or amendment number indicate a motion or amendment published for the first time
- Asterisks also identify alterations to the text of a motion or amendment made since it was first published
- A hash symbol identifies motions eligible for debate at Members’ Business
- A diamond symbol identifies motions lodged for Members’ Business that have not yet attracted the required cross-party support
- An "R", identifies motions or amendments in which the Member who lodged it has a registrable interest.
The Parliamentary Bureau periodically deletes motions or amendments not scheduled for debate and which are over six weeks old.
Any questions in relation to this section should be directed to the Chamber Desk

*S4M-13104 Bill Kidd: Women’s Interfaith Fair in Coordination with Refugee Festival Scotland 2015—That the Parliament wishes the Women’s Interfaith Fair the very best of luck for its lunch event on 17 June 2015; notes that the event is part of the celebrations taking place across Scotland during Refugee Festival Scotland 2015 and will take place at the St Francis Centre in Cumberland Street in Glasgow, and understands that the week of events is coordinated by the Scottish Refugee Council, which is celebrating 30 years of working on behalf of refugees in Scotland, and sponsored by Woman of Faith, Interfaith Glasgow, Interfaith Scotland and the Refugee Festival Scotland.
*S4M-13102 Christina McKelvie: TTIP—That the Parliament welcomes the reported statement by the senior UN official, Alfred de Zayas, in which he called for the suspension of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations; understands that he argued that the agreement would undermine human rights and democracy and allow companies to appeal against regulation or legislation that depress their profits; believes that he also suggested that similar trade agreements had allowed major corporations to succeed in blocking government policies with the support of secret arbitration; understands that the TTIP’s investment state dispute settlement scheme would establish a separate legal system for the benefit of multinational corporations, and hopes that the EU will listen carefully to what Mr de Zayas has suggested and take on board his concerns.
