Interests

The Convener (Audrey Nicoll)

A very good morning, and welcome to the 24th meeting in 2025 of the Criminal Justice Committee. We have apologies from Pauline McNeill; Fulton MacGregor is joining us online; and Sharon Dowey is slightly delayed in her arrival.

I extend our congratulations to our colleague Ben Macpherson MSP on his new ministerial role and thank him for all his work in committee.

I also welcome Jamie Hepburn MSP to the committee. We look forward to working with him, and I ask whether he has any relevant interests to declare.

My only interest that might be relevant to the work of the committee is my membership of Amnesty International.

Thank you. That is noted.
