Item 2 is feedback from the convener of the Justice Sub-Committee on Policing on its meeting of 23 February 2017. Following the verbal report from Mary Fee, there will be an opportunity to make brief comments or ask questions. If there are any specific areas of work that members wish the Justice Committee to consider in more detail, that can be discussed under the work programme agenda item at the end of the meeting. I refer members to paper 1 and ask Mary Fee to provide feedback on the meeting.
The Justice Sub-Committee on Policing met on 23 February 2017 and took evidence from Her Majesty’s chief inspector of constabulary, Derek Penman, on “Independent Assurance Review Police Scotland—Call Handling Update Report”. The sub-committee heard about the significant progress that Police Scotland has made since the first report on call handling was published by Her Majesty’s inspectorate of constabulary in Scotland towards the end of 2015. The sub-committee plans to return to the issue of call handling at a later date.
I am happy to take any questions.
Members do not have any questions, so we shall move on to the next item.
