Item in Private
Welcome to the 39th meeting this year of the Justice 1 Committee. I apologise for the late start, but it took us longer than anticipated to agree lines of questioning on the weighty subject that we will discuss under item 2 on the agenda.
I have received apologies from Mary Mulligan, who will not be with us today. Apart from her, we have full attendance. With us we also have our adviser, Dr Laura Piacentini, who has been assisting us with our report on our inquiry into the effectiveness of rehabilitation programmes in prisons.
Under item 1 on our agenda, I invite members to agree to consider in private a draft report on our inquiry into the effectiveness of rehabilitation programmes in prisons, and to deal with it in private at future meetings. Is that agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
