Item 4 on the agenda concerns the Scottish prison complaints commissioner. Members will recall the presentation by the commissioner, Mr Vaughan Barrett, at our meeting on 6 December 2005. Following that, we wrote to the Executive. Members should have with their papers a copy of the Executive's response—a letter from the Minister for Justice dated 23 January 2006. Comments, please.
I suggest that we copy the letter to the Scottish prison complaints commissioner for his information, but other than that, we await the outcome of the review that will take place this year.
Is that agreed?
Meeting continued in private until 14:43.
