BUSINESS goes ahead despite public sector strikes but not quite as usual. Labour and the Greens will not be crossing picket lines but the SNP, Tories and LibDems will be at work. That gives them the opportunity to debate the reason for the strike: public sector pensions. The Government s motion registers its strong opposition to the UK Government s action claiming it is a cash grab and urging Westminster to reverse its policy. Two committees are scheduled, Economy, Energy and Tourism and Rural affairs, Climate Change and the Environment. Fuel poverty is the only item on the agenda at Economy which will be hearing from a range of officials from organisations including age Scotland, Energy action and Money advice Scotland. Rural affairs will be considering the Common agricultural Policy and the Common Fisheries Policy. Business ends with a Member s debate on a motion by SNP MSP Kevin Stewart on St andrew s Day.
