Good afternoon, everybody. I welcome you to the 33rd meeting in 2005 of the Justice 2 Committee. Today, we will continue our scrutiny of the Police, Public Order and Criminal Justice (Scotland) Bill, but before we proceed to that, I ask members to agree that we will consider the draft report on the bill in private. Is that agreed?
I have received apologies from Colin Fox. I understand that Carolyn Leckie will attend in his absence. I have also received apologies from Stewart Maxwell, and I welcome Kenny MacAskill to the committee in place of him.
