The next meeting will be on 27 February. The committee will take further evidence on the Sexual Offences (Procedure and Evidence) (Scotland) Bill. After we considered the amendments to the bill, the Executive presented more amendments on previous convictions. We will hear from Professor Chris Gane and the Law Society of Scotland. That will give us a chance to consider the Executive amendments before we move to stage 3.
Meeting continued in private until 11:35.
