Good morning and welcome to the sixth meeting this year of the Justice 2 Committee. I ask members to switch off mobile phones to prevent disruption of the meeting.
I know that many distinguished guests are in the public gallery, but I particularly welcome Robin Cook MP, Leader of the House of Commons, who has come to see some of the workings of the Parliament today. I welcome all our guests.
I have received apologies from George Lyon. Alasdair Morrison will join us, but he will be late.
