We have had apologies from the convener, Des McNulty, who has hurt his foot in a skiing incident; from John Swinburne; and from Elaine Murray, who has been delayed due to motoring difficulties.The first item on the agenda is evidence on the Management of Offenders etc (Scotland) Bill, which was introduced on 4 March by the Minister for Justice. At our meeting on 15 March, we agreed to adopt level 2 scrutiny, which means taking written evidence from organisations upon which the costs will fall and taking oral evidence from officials.
