Good morning and welcome to the ninth meeting in 2015 of the Justice Committee. I ask everyone to switch off mobile phones and other electronic devices, as they interfere with broadcasting even when they are switched to silent. No apologies have been received.
Agenda item 1 is to ask the committee whether it agrees to consider in private item 3, which is consideration of a draft stage 1 report on the Prisoners (Control of Release) (Scotland) Bill, and item 4, which is consideration of our work programme.
Members indicated agreement.
