Good morning, and welcome to the 22nd meeting in 2023 of the Criminal Justice Committee. We have received apologies from Katy Clark.
Our first item of business is to welcome Sharon Dowey to her first meeting of the committee. I look forward to working with her. I invite her to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee’s remit.
Thank you. My husband is a retired police officer but, other than that, I have nothing to declare.
I refer members to my entry in the register of members’ interests in relation to agenda item 7, which is our approach to the Police (Ethics, Conduct and Scrutiny) (Scotland) Bill, albeit that we will discuss it in private. I am a former police officer.
