Items in Private

Good morning and welcome to the 28th meeting in 2006 of the Justice 1 Committee. All members are present. I welcome to the committee once again Jim Fraser, our adviser to the inquiry, Catriona Hardman and Rob Marr, our legal advisers, and Ken Macintosh MSP, who has been joining our meetings. We might be joined later by Des McNulty and Alex Neil.

I ask members as usual to check that their mobile phones are switched off, which is helpful for broadcasting.

Do members agree to consider agenda items 3 to 5 in private? Item 3 is consideration of the committee's approach to the budget process 2006-07, item 4 is consideration of whether to extend the contract of the committee's adviser on the Criminal Proceedings etc (Reform) (Scotland) Bill and item 5 is consideration of whether to accept written evidence received after the deadline for the receipt of written submissions to the Scottish Criminal Record Office inquiry.

Members indicated agreement.
