Good morning and welcome to the 29th meeting in 2014 of the Justice Committee. I ask everyone to switch off their mobile phones and other electronic devices completely, as they interfere with the broadcasting system even when they are switched to silent.
No apologies have been received.
Item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. I invite the committee to agree to consider our approach to the Prisoners (Control of Release) (Scotland) Bill and to the draft Public Services Reform (Inspection and Monitoring of Prisons) (Scotland) Order 2014 under items 3 and 4 in private. Are we agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
