Item in Private

Good morning and welcome to the eighth meeting in 2005 of the Justice 1 Committee. It would be helpful if members switched off their mobile phones, as they normally do.

The deputy convener of the committee, Stewart Stevenson, will join us at some point. I have received no other apologies.

Under agenda item 1, the committee will consider whether to take agenda item 4—rather than agenda item 3 as the previous version of the agenda stated—in private. Under item 4, the committee will consider its approach to stage 1 of the Family Law (Scotland) Bill. Do members agree to take item 4 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
