Diligence Against Moveable Property

I welcome everybody to this meeting of the Social Justice Committee.

The first item for consideration is diligence against moveable property. Members will be aware that we have been invited by Angus MacKay, who is the chair of the working group on a diligence against moveable property to replace poindings and warrant sales, to nominate a member to that group. When she was convener, Margaret Curran represented the committee on that group, but she is no longer able to do so.

I suggest that we follow the precedent that was set. I nominate you, convener, to fill the vacancy that Margaret Curran's promotion has left.

I am happy to accept the nomination. If there are no other views, is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

I understand that we have visitors in the public gallery today from the CICERO—community initiative in citizenship education regionally organised—project from North Lanarkshire. I welcome them and hope that they will enjoy our discussion.
