Good morning. I welcome everyone to the 33rd meeting in 2014 of the Justice Committee. I ask everyone to switch off mobile phones and other electronic devices, as they interfere with the broadcasting system even when they are switched to silent. Apologies have been received from Alison McInnes.
Items 6 and 7 have been withdrawn from the agenda, as the order is being relaid, so we will not deal with those items today. That is good news, as it will make our meeting a little more sharp and swift.
Under agenda item 1, the committee is invited to agree to consider item 9, our draft report on the Assisted Suicide (Scotland) Bill, in private. Is that agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
