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 A motion or amendment is live if it has not been debated, withdrawn or otherwise deleted from the list. Where a motion or amendment has been withdrawn, it is indicated in this section the day after it has been withdrawn.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.

Motions submitted for Members’ Business are shown below. S4M-00087#- Liam McArthur ( Orkney Islands ) ( Scottish Liberal Democrats ) : Damaging Impact of Air Discount Scheme Changes: That the Parliament notes the benefits that the Air Discount Scheme has brought to Scotland’s island communities since it was first introduced in 2006; considers that, even with the Air Discount Scheme reduction, the cost of flying to and from the islands imposes a considerable financial burden on island life; understands, therefore, the very real concerns that the exclusion of business travel from the Air Discount Scheme has caused to businesses as well as to the public and voluntary sectors in the islands; considers that the change, on which there was no prior consultation, means that businesses and other organisations now either have to face even higher travel costs or have to miss out on opportunities to take part in meetings and other events on the Scottish mainland and further afield, and would welcome an urgent review of the impact of the exclusion of business travel.
