Decision on Taking Business in Private
Good morning. I welcome everyone to the 18th meeting of the Justice Committee in this parliamentary session, and ask everyone to switch off mobile phones and other electronic devices completely as, even when switched to silent, they interfere with the broadcasting system. I have apologies from Graeme Pearson, who is unable to attend the meeting.
Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. Under item 3, the committee will further consider its approach to the scrutiny of the Criminal Cases (Punishment and Review) (Scotland) Bill at stage 1. Under item 4, we will discuss our fact-finding visits to Cornton Vale, Saughton prison and the 218 centre and consider any future work. Do members agree that we should take those items in private?
Members indicated agreement.
