Chamber and committees

It has been a long morning.

The question is, that amendment 76 be agreed to. Are we agreed?

Members: No.

A very good morning, and welcome to the 17th meeting in 2022 of the Criminal Justice Committee. There are no apologies.

Agenda item 1 is consideration of the Fireworks and Pyrotechnic Articles (Scotland) Bill at stage 2. I ask members to refer to their copy of the bill, the marshalled list of amendments and the groupings of amendments.

I welcome the Minister for Community Safety, Ash Regan, and her officials to the meeting. I remind the officials that they are there to assist the minister during the stage 2 debate and that they are not permitted to participate in it. For that reason, members should not direct any questions to them.

Section 1—Meaning of “firework” and “pyrotechnic article”

Amendment 59, in the name of Jamie Greene, is in a group on its own.
