Scottish Parliament Justice 2 Committee Wednesday 23 May 2001 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 09:50]
I welcome everyone to the 15th meeting in 2001 of the Justice 2 Committee. I remind members to ensure that they have switched off their mobile phones and pagers. This is going to be a long, hot meeting.
We have received no apologies.
At our previous meeting, Christine Grahame raised the issue of the Official Report, and members may have noticed that the report was published yesterday afternoon. That is still not a satisfactory time for the report of a stage 1 meeting, but the report was available before today's meeting. I still intend to raise the issue at the conveners group.
I received a substantial answer from the Presiding Officer, which was published in Written Answers this week. The production of reports is prioritised. I draw members' attention to that answer.
