That means that no more debates or Committee meetings will be held during this session, unless Parliament is recalled.

I am so deeply saddened by the death of our dear parliamentary colleague Christina McKelvie MSP.
On behalf of all @scotparl, my most sincere condolences to Christina’s partner, our friend and colleague Keith Brown MSP, and to Christina’s family and many friends.
A passionate campaigner and an engaging parliamentarian, Christina served as a Committee Convener and as a Minister under three First Ministers.
The flags at Holyrood fly at half-mast today.
We will of course honour Christina fully @scotparl in the days to come.
