Motions & Amendments
Motions are used by MSPs as a device to initiate debate or propose a course of action.
Motions can be lodged for debate in Parliament as part of parliamentary business, for debate as part of Members’ Business, to propose that legislation is agreed to or passed or simply to generate support. Other MSPs can sign up in support of motions that have been lodged.
Amendments to motions are also lodged by MSPs to allow alternative points of view to be discussed and debated.
A full list of Current Motions and Amendments is published every Monday.
New motions, new amendments and new names of support are published each day in Section F of the Business Bulletin.
The Motions Search allows you to search for motions which have been lodged. You can do this by MSP, the motion ID number or a general subject search.
