Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the 29th meeting in 2020 of the Justice Committee. We have received apologies from Shona Robison. I welcome Bill Kidd, who is attending as Shona’s substitute. We have also received apologies from James Kelly.
Our first item of business is to decide whether to consider in private at future meetings all drafts of the committee’s report on the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Bill. If members disagree, could they please indicate that? No member has indicated that they disagree, so that is agreed.
