Annual Report

The Convener

Item 4 is consideration of our draft annual report for the parliamentary year 9 May 2009 to 8 May 2010. I invite comments from members. We can consider the report page by page.

Marlyn Glen

I suggest an addition to paragraph 3, on page 2, to include mention of the Scottish Prison Service report on women offenders, which I think included work on domestic abuse and prostitution.

The Convener

Yes, certainly. I invite comments on page 3 of the report.

Marlyn Glen

On paragraph 8, on the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Bill, can we add something about the ways in which we are monitoring the issue, to reflect that we are not concentrating on just one thing but might consider amendments to the bill and other evidence?

The Convener

Yes. I think that paragraph 8 reflects the fact that we will pursue the issue in whatever legislation or forum it has a locus. I invite comments on page 4.

Marlyn Glen

On paragraph 14, I suggest that we add “and single outcome agreements” at the end, so that we look at the issue across the board.

The Convener

If there are no comments on pages 5 and 6, is the committee happy for me to sign off those changes?

Members indicated agreement.

The Convener

Thank you. We will consider item 5 in private.

13:22 Meeting continued in private until 13:23.
