Interests

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the second meeting of the Justice Committee in session 5. I remind members to turn off mobile phones, to ensure that they do not interfere with broadcasting—even if they are switched to silent they tend to do that, so if members switch them off completely, that would be appreciated. Any members who use electronic devices to access committee papers during the meeting should ensure that they are switched to silent, as well.

We have apologies from Liam McArthur.

Agenda item 1 is a declaration of interests. I invite Mary Fee to declare any relevant interests.

I refer members to my entry in the register of members’ interests. For the record, I also state that in session 4 I convened the cross-party group on families affected by imprisonment, and I intend to reconvene that group in session 5.

You have no interests to declare.

No—none.

That is lovely. Thank you.
