I welcome everyone to the Justice Committee’s 25th meeting in 2014. I ask everyone to switch off mobile phones and other electronic devices, as they interfere with the broadcasting equipment even when they are switched to silent.
I have received apologies from John Pentland, and Graeme Pearson is here as the substitute.
Under item 1, the committee is invited to agree to consider items 3, 4 and 5 in private. Item 3 is our approach to budget scrutiny, item 4 is our work programme and item 5 is consideration of a draft report on the legislative consent memorandum on the Criminal Justice and Courts Bill. Do we agree to take those items in private?
Members indicated agreement.
