Good morning, everyone, and welcome to this meeting of the Justice 1 Committee. If members could switch off their phones, as I have, that would be helpful. We have no apologies from members.
Have members any comments on the specification contained in the paper?
No, it is fine.
In that case, we will request the Parliamentary Bureau to approve the committee's decision to appoint an adviser. I am advised that that should happen at the bureau's meeting on 7 February 2006. Subject to the bureau's approval, we can then as a committee consider potential candidates at our meeting next week or at the meeting immediately after the recess, which will be on 22 February 2006.
Was our previous adviser on the list? I have not yet seen the list.
We do not yet have a list of proposed advisers. That will come when we consider who our adviser will be.
