Item in Private
Good morning and welcome to the 22nd meeting of the Justice 1 Committee this year. I would be grateful if committee members and everyone in the public gallery would ensure that mobile phones and anything else that could interfere with our sound system are switched off. We will be making use of radio microphones and mobile phones will interfere with the sound.
So that I can see the presentations, I am not sitting in my usual seat, but I can still see everyone and will move back to my usual seat when we go to the round-table discussion.
All committee members are present, and I welcome once again our adviser, Jim Fraser, and legal advisers Rob Marr and Catriona Hardman. I also welcome the three MSPs who have been joining us for this inquiry—Des McNulty, Ken Macintosh and Alex Neil.
Item 1 is to ask members whether they agree to take item 4 in private. As usual, that is just to allow us to discuss what we will hear in evidence during the meeting. Do members agree to take item 4 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
