Protection from Abuse (Scotland) Bill

The Convener:

Item 3 concerns the Protection from Abuse (Scotland) Bill. Members have received a note on the bill from the clerk. This is as much new territory for me as it is for everyone else, as it is a committee bill. I think that Lord James Douglas-Hamilton and I got a bit confused when I appeared, with the leave of and on behalf of the Justice 1 Committee, before the Justice 2 Committee in order to move amendments. I do not know whether members want me to say any more about the amendment procedure, which was agreed previously. Are members content?

Members indicated agreement.

The bill will then move to stage 3. It is my intention to move that the bill be passed at stage 3 on behalf of the committee and I would ask Maureen Macmillan, as she has had such a powerful hand in the matter, to sum up.

Thank you, convener. I will do so.
