Decision on Taking Business in Private
I welcome everyone to the 19th meeting of the Justice Committee in this session. I ask everyone to switch off mobile phones and other electronic devices completely as they interfere with the broadcasting system even when switched to silent. We have received no apologies for absence.
Under item 1, I invite members to agree to take three items in private—consideration of our response to the consultation by the Commission on a Bill of Rights; a discussion of our fact-finding visits to Cornton Vale, Saughton and the 218 centre; and a discussion of the evidence that we have received on the Carloway review. Is that agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
One of our witnesses has not arrived yet, so with the leave of the committee, I intend to move to item 3. Is that agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
