Does Fulton MacGregor want to pick up on anything relating to time limits?

Thank you for that helpful clarification. I will call Russell Findlay next. A number of members are interested in sticking with the issue of conducting court business by electronic means, so I will bring in Russell and then Rona Mackay.

We will have to bring the session to a close. Members had one or two other questions that they wanted to ask, but time is against us.

I thank Kenny Donnelly and David Fraser for joining us. You have undertaken to provide a number of bits of follow-up information. That is helpful—we appreciate it.

We will take a short break to allow for a changeover of witnesses.

Coronavirus (Recovery and Reform) (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 9 March 2022

Audrey Nicoll

Welcome back. Our next item of business is our final evidence session on the justice provisions in the Coronavirus (Recovery and Reform) (Scotland) Bill.

I am pleased to welcome to today’s meeting Keith Brown, the Cabinet Secretary for Justice and Veterans, who is attending in person along with Scottish Government officials Jeff Gibbons, from the criminal justice division, and Louise Miller, from the legal directorate. Officials attending online are Steven MacGregor, from the Cabinet, Parliament and governance division; Jennifer Stoddart, from the community justice division; and Jo-Anne Tinto, from the legal directorate. We very much appreciate the time that you are taking to join us this morning.

I intend to allow around an hour for questions and answers. As usual, I ask for those to be succinct. I invite the cabinet secretary to make some brief opening remarks.
