Interests

The Deputy Convener (Rona Mackay)

Good morning. This is the 18th meeting in 2020 of the Justice Committee. I start by welcoming all the people in the committee room as well as our virtual participants. We have apologies from Alasdair Allan, who cannot be with us today, and we are joined by Bill Kidd as his substitute.

Before we begin, I remind members, witnesses and staff present that social distancing measures are in place in committee rooms and across the Holyrood campus. I ask that everyone takes care to observe those measures over the course of this morning’s business, including when entering and exiting the committee room. I also remind members not to touch the microphones or consoles during the meeting. As usual, members should indicate to the convener if they wish to ask a question and the sound engineer will activate their microphone.

I welcome our new committee member, Adam Tomkins, and ask him to declare any interests that are relevant to the remit of this committee.

Good morning, everyone. My only relevant interest is that I am an employee of the University of Glasgow, where I have an academic position in the school of law.
