Chamber and committees

I will move on to the section on “Victims’ rights and victim support”. I will just go through the table section by section now instead of page by page, in the spirit of time keeping. The section starts on page 19. Is there anything in it that anyone wants to raise?

I would certainly pick up your point about legal aid. I do not know whether it is just a coincidence, but I have had a number of constituency inquiries about access to legal aid by victims of domestic abuse being challenged. It is a pressing issue, and it is important that we get updates on it.

I wonder whether we can also ask for a written update from the inspectorate. We can see from the first couple of pages of the table that we do not have updates on quite a number of the issues relating to prisons that have been identified. We need to ask for an update.

That is a fair point.

We have talked a little about women and children, and Rona Mackay has already mentioned the Bella and Lilias centres. I am quite keen on the suggestion that we arrange a visit at some point, if we can fit it in.

On the Moorov doctrine?

I thank members very much. We are a wee bit over time. I appreciate members’ comments. We will return to the action plan before the summer recess to find out what further progress is being made on the points that we have picked up and the recommendations that we previously made.

We could ask about what recruitment mitigation is being put in place.

Is there anything else? Otherwise, we will consider the SSIs that have just gone through—

Maybe we should pick that up. It is a good point.

Pauline, do you want to come in?

That is helpful. I will move us on to page 18.

That is fine. I think that we will cover that a bit in the action plan, but that is certainly noted. Thanks very much.

Are there any other comments on the submissions in paper 1?
