Thank you very much for that, minister.

Just for clarification, Mr Mundell is referring to section 20(6)—that is subsection 6 of section 20—not section 26.

Under item 2, the committee will take evidence on the Regulation of Legal Services (Scotland) Bill from Siobhian Brown, the Minister for Victims and Community Safety. The minister is accompanied by two Scottish Government officials: Jamie Wilhelm, who is the legal services regulation reform manager, from the justice directorate; and Leanna MacLarty, who is a solicitor from the legal directorate. Good morning to you all.
I remind all attendees not to worry about turning on their microphones as broadcasting will deal with that. I invite the minister to make some opening remarks.
