Under this item, I welcome the confirmation that there is provision for the matter in the legislative programme. We asked about that. Do members want to comment?
The letter from Kenny MacAskill, which is dated back in June, says that he will be happy to confirm for the committee which bill will be used to address the issue once the legislative programme has been announced. Given that that has now happened, have we had any communication from Mr MacAskill as to which bill will be used?
My understanding is that the provision is likely to be included in a fairly wide-ranging justice bill, which is to be introduced early next year, but we can seek confirmation.
It would be helpful to get confirmation, so that we can effectively close the matter.
Okay. We note the response.
Meeting continued in private until 11:11.
