I welcome members to the eighth meeting this session of the Justice 2 Committee and I particularly welcome Maureen Macmillan, who is joining us as a new member. I thank her predecessor Scott Barrie for his efforts; he has been confronted with diary clashes and has had to resign from the committee. Maureen, we are very glad to have you on board.
Thank you. Do I have to make a declaration of interests?
If you wish.
My husband is a practising solicitor. Apart from that, I have no other legal connections.
That prompts me to say that Nicola Sturgeon and I should perhaps make a similar declaration. I am a practising, if inert, solicitor.
And I am just an inert one.
After those introductory remarks, I remind members to turn off any mobile phones or pagers.
