Good morning and welcome to the 26th meeting in 2014 of the Justice Committee. I ask everyone to switch off mobile phones and other electronic devices, as they interfere with broadcasting even when switched to silent. No apologies have been received, and I welcome to the meeting Patrick Harvie, who is the member in charge of the Assisted Suicide (Scotland) Bill.
Before we go on to our business, I should say that, although I am delighted to welcome Patrick Harvie to the meeting, I know that he will agree that Margo MacDonald would have relished coming before the committee to pursue her bill, although I suspect that had Margo been here we would not have got many questions in ourselves. Nevertheless, as I have said, I am very pleased to welcome Patrick Harvie.
Thank you, convener.
Agenda item 1 is to seek the committee’s agreement to consider in private agenda item 4, which is our work programme. Are we agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
