Scottish Parliament Justice 2 Committee Wednesday 28 March 2001 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:19]
I formally open the fifth meeting of the Justice 2 Committee. I explained earlier the circumstances that led to the late start of the meeting, for which I offer my sincere apologies, so we will get down to business.
I report to the committee that the Parliamentary Bureau has agreed that the Justice 1 Committee and the Justice 2 Committee can work jointly on the budget process. The first joint meeting of the committees will take place immediately after this meeting. I wish to report back on other items but, given our late start, I will leave that until the end of the meeting.
I ask members of the committee whether they agree to take in private items 7 and 8. Item 7 is a continuation of our discussion of the proposed inquiry into the Crown Office and procurator fiscal service and item 8 is on the draft land reform bill.
Members indicated agreement.
