Scottish Parliament Justice 2 Committee Wednesday 18 September 2002 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 09:54]
If members will find their seats, we can begin. As usual, it would be helpful if people turned off anything that makes a noise. I welcome everyone to the 30th meeting in 2002 of the Justice 2 Committee.
I have some brief remarks as a convener's report. I intend to finish the meeting at 12.30 pm today in view of another important piece of work on the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Bill. I assume that members will agree to that.
Members indicated agreement.
I propose a very short comfort break at about 11.30 am, if the committee wishes that. I take members' silence as a yes.
The quality and practice review unit's report into the prosecution of High Court cases and the consultation document on the appointment and role of advocate deputes are now available on the Crown Office website. I thought that the committee might be interested to know that, as those topics form part of our inquiry into the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service.
