    Good morning and welcome to Holyrood Live on Tuesday 10 September 2019.

    Brexit Secretary Mike Russell appears before the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee this morning to discuss the Referendums (Scotland) Bill.

    The bill lays the framework for a possible second independence referendum, but does not set a date or question - instead it gives ministers the power to do this via secondary legislation.

    Topical questions will take place after lunch, featuring a query about sectarian violence at marches in Glasgow and Prestwick airport and the US military.

    This will be followed by a statement on sustainable crofting.

    Then MSPs debate the impact of proposed immigration policy on the university and science sectors.

    Finally, Tory MSP Edward Mountain leads a member's debate on bullying at NHS Highland.
