Good morning and welcome to the 23rd meeting in 2015 of the Justice Committee. I ask everyone to switch off mobile phones and other electronic devices as they interfere with broadcasting, even when switched to silent. We have received apologies from Alison McInnes.
Agenda item 1 is a couple of decisions on taking business in private. Does the committee agree to take in private item 6, which relates to witnesses for the Community Justice (Scotland) Bill, and item 7, which relates to our draft report on the Inquiries into Deaths (Scotland) Bill?
Members indicated agreement.
