Motion agreed to,

That the Parliament welcomes the Scottish Government consultation paper setting out its approach to implementing Lord Carloway’s historic recommendations to reform the investigation and prosecution of crime in Scotland; notes the Scottish Government’s inclusion in Working for Scotland: The Government’s Programme for Scotland 2012-13 of a Criminal Justice Bill to deliver these historic reforms as a package; highlights the importance of delivering these measures in a coherent way alongside wider reforms to courts and tribunals planned through the Making Justice Work programme, and encourages all interested persons to make a response to the consultation.
