Item in Private
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the joint meeting of the Justice 1 Committee and Justice 2 Committee. This is the 37th meeting in 2006 of the Justice 1 Committee and the 27th meeting in 2006 of the Justice 2 Committee.
I apologise to our witnesses for the delay, which was caused by problems in members getting here on time. I remind everyone present to switch off all mobile phones, pagers and BlackBerrys—anything that goes "ping"—as they interfere with the sound system. We have received apologies from Bill Butler, Marlyn Glen and Mike Pringle.
Agenda item 1 is to ask the committees to agree that agenda item 3, which is consideration of the evidence received and issues arising, be taken in private. Are members agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
