I would like to come in there. Obviously, you want to make an extensive contribution, but I am thinking about the time. If we have time, we will come back to some of that.

Kate Wallace, do you want to come in on that and add anything?

Before we move on, does Ann Marie Cocozza want to comment on any of that?

Would you like to add a final comment, Ann Marie?

Would you like to add anything, Kate?

We move to our second panel of witnesses, who are representatives of several organisations that represent various groups, including victims of crime or people who might be classed as vulnerable witnesses during court proceedings. I welcome Dr Louise Hill, who is head of policy, evidence and impact at Children 1st; Bill Scott, who is director of policy at Inclusion Scotland; and Graham O’Neill, who is a policy manager at the Scottish Refugee Council. A warm welcome to you all.

We will have around an hour for the evidence session. As with the previous session, I will open with a general question, which I will put first to Dr Hill and then to the other witnesses, working across the room.

Can you give us your views on the pros and cons of creating the post of a victims and witnesses commissioner?

That is a helpful opening commentary. We move to Bill Scott.

Thank you. I will bring in Graham O’Neill.

Thank you very much indeed.

I will bring in other members now, because what you have just outlined, Marsha, is something that we are all very sensitive to. Russell Findlay is first.

That is the sort of answer that we like.
