Immediately after Decision Time a "Members Debate" is held, which lasts for 45 minutes. Members Business is a debate on a motion proposed by an MSP who is not a Scottish minister. Such motions are on issues which may be of interest to a particular area such as a member's own constituency, an upcoming or past event or any other item which would otherwise not be accorded official parliamentary time. As well as the proposer, other members normally contribute to the debate. The relevant minister, whose department the debate and motion relate to "winds up" the debate by speaking after all other participants.
When is the Members Debate held? Why are debates on proposed motions by an MSP conducted? How long does the Members Debate last? Who contributes to Members Business in addition to the proposer? What does the minister who was the catalyst of the Members Business do by speaking after everyone else?
