Good morning and welcome to the Justice Committee’s 23rd meeting in 2018. We have apologies from Jenny Gilruth. Liam McArthur may have to leave the meeting at some point to consider stage 2 amendments at another committee.
Agenda item 1 is a declaration of interests from our new and returning member Fulton MacGregor, whom I welcome back to the committee. Do you have any interests to declare, Fulton?
Thanks, convener. I am very glad to be back on the Justice Committee. I declare an interest as a social worker registered with the Scottish Social Services Council.
