Welcome to the 33rd meeting of the Justice Committee in 2015. I ask everyone to switch off their mobile phones and other electronic devices as they interfere with broadcasting, even when they are switched to silent. I have received an apology from Margaret Mitchell and I welcome Gavin Brown to the meeting as the Conservative Party substitute.
I invite the committee to agree to consider two items in private: item 3, which concerns our approach to our remaining scrutiny of the Abusive Behaviour and Sexual Harm (Scotland) Bill at stage 1; and item 4, which concerns our approach to scrutiny of the Criminal Verdicts (Scotland) Bill at stage 1. Do we agree to do that?
Members indicated agreement.
