Scottish Parliament Justice 1 Committee and Justice 2 Committee (Joint Meeting) Wednesday 19 September 2001 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 09:32]
Good morning and welcome to the 24th meeting of the Justice 1 Committee and the 22nd meeting of the Justice 2 Committee.
I welcome the Lord Advocate and his team to this morning's joint stocktaking meeting. I remind members that we had a stocktaking meeting in the previous Justice and Home Affairs Committee and it seemed sensible to bring the two justice committees together this morning so that we can jointly question the Lord Advocate and the Deputy First Minister and Minister for Justice. As both are quorate, we can begin.
I ask members to do the usual and check that their mobile phones are switched off. We have received apologies only from Margaret Ewing, who cannot be with us this morning.
There are also apologies from Christine Grahame.
Thank you.
