We move now to item 5. It is likely that the Justice Committee will be the lead committee on the recently introduced Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Bill, but there are several good reasons why this committee should be a secondary committee. Local government has a role in the current set-up, and I think that it is proposed that local government have an enhanced role in future. I suggest that we seek appointment as a secondary committee for stage 1 consideration of the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Bill, and that we consider in private, at a future meeting, our approach to evidence taking on the bill.
