S1M-3804 Margo MacDonald (Lothians) (Ind) :  Performance of Holyrood
Progress Group— That the Parliament has no confidence in the political
judgement and sense of proportion displayed by the Holyrood Progress Group
as represented by its decision to celebrate and congratulate itself on the
purchase of a reception desk for the new Parliament building, the price of
which adds insult to the injury already done to the reputation of the
Parliament by the group's inept management of the Holyrood building project
and its complete failure to fulfil the remit to bring the project in on
time and budget, and therefore directs the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate
Body to relieve the current members of the group of their duties and
replace them with a representative and competent group of MSPs.

S1M-3804.1 Linda Fabiani (Central Scotland) (SNP) :  Performance of
Holyrood Progress Group— As an amendment to motion S1M-3804 in the name
of Margo MacDonald (Performance of Holyrood Progress Group), leave out from
"has no" to end and insert "notes that the Holyrood Progress Group was not
responsible for the purchase of the reception desk for the new Parliament
building and expresses concern that a member of this Parliament would
arbitrarily submit a motion of no confidence in parliamentary colleagues
without first carrying out basic research to establish the facts of the
matter."
