Scottish Parliament Justice 1 Committee Tuesday 6 February 2001 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:01]

Good morning, colleagues. I have potential apologies from Gordon Jackson, who has a partial clash with the Subordinate Legislation Committee, and I welcome Paul Martin to his first meeting of the committee.

Following on from last week's meeting, Phil Gallie suggested, in relation to petition PE89 from Eileen McBride on enhanced criminal record certificates, that we should consider whether individuals should be informed that a request to view such a record had been made. I said that I would take the issue away and think about it. I will write to the minister to find out whether he intends to inform people as a matter of course and will bring the matter back to the committee.
