I urge the committee to read that document. The values are not new—they do not include any principles that are strange to us—but their encapsulation in that relatively brief format is somehow powerful.
I want to deal with other issues to which you have given thought. The bill proposes a new Scottish legal complaints commission—out goes the ombudsman and in comes something new.
