Chamber and committees

I will bring in Professor McAra, followed by Fiona Dyer, to pick up on that topic.

Perhaps Gemma Fraser would like to come in with a couple of brief comments.

We have been covering elements of custody and secure care. Collette Stevenson is keen to ask questions about alternatives to custody.

I am conscious of the time. If members have no further questions, I will draw the meeting to a close. If any of the witnesses would like to share anything else with the committee, they can do so in writing and the committee will take the evidence into account. I thank all the witnesses. I am sure that our discussion could have continued for much longer. Thank you for your participation.

Thank you very much. Ms Dyer, do you have any comments to make?

Do members have any questions?

I ask the witnesses to keep their answers fairly succinct and members to do the same with their questions. We have a lot of subject areas that we would like to get through.

Mr Purdie, will you respond?

She is back. Would you like to pick that up quickly, Ms Medhurst?

I think that that question was for Ms Medhurst. Is that correct?
