Item in Private

Good morning and welcome to this meeting of the Justice 2 Committee. I ask members to switch off mobile phones and pagers.

We are dealing with the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Bill this morning. I have not received any apologies, but I know that members have business that they might have to attend to during the morning. I understand that there has been a power cut in parliamentary headquarters—that is what all the fuss and noise in the background is about. However, I understand that the technical set-up is okay and that we can proceed. Broadcasting staff can advise me if things change.

Before we discuss the bill, I ask members to agree to take item 6—consideration of our report on the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service inquiry—in private. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
