Chamber and committees

Could the clerk come in to clarify that?

That completes our consideration of the Scottish statutory instruments before us, and that concludes the public part of our meeting.

Thank you. Finally, does anyone have any points to make about the section on legal aid?

Okay. I do not have an issue with that. It is one of the more pressing issues that we have a constant interest in monitoring, so I am quite happy that we go back to ask for some clarity around that.

We will move on to page 10, if everybody is happy with page 9.

Yes—I thought that that would be the easiest approach.

Yes.

Yes.

In that case, we will move on. I thank members for their comments on the section on Covid recovery.

I am aware that we might have covered some points that will arise as we move further into the document, but I suggest that we move on to page 7 of paper 2 and the section on prisons and prison reform. I know that some comments have already been made on women and children in prisons, but I think that Fulton MacGregor wants to come in here.

We will come to that in a moment. Did you want to come in at this point, Rona?

I will bring in Rona Mackay, and then we will move on to questions on restriction of use and supply.
