Justice Sub-Committee on Policing (Membership)

Item 4 is the proposed appointment of a new member of the Justice Sub-Committee on Policing. I refer members to paper 3, which is a note from the clerk that explains the procedure. In essence, it is for the Justice Committee to make a recommendation to the Parliamentary Bureau, and for the Parliament to agree to that recommendation.

I understand that the Scottish National Party has proposed that Shona Robison replace Jenny Gilruth on the sub-committee. Do members agree that I should write to the Parliamentary Bureau to propose that Shona Robison becomes a member of the Justice Sub-Committee on Policing?

Members indicated agreement.

Bad luck, Shona. I am joking; it is a very interesting committee.

That concludes the public part of today’s meeting. Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 10 March, when we will consider a number of Scottish statutory instruments, a legislative consent memorandum and petition PE1458, which seeks to establish a register of judicial interests.
