I ask for fairly succinct questions and answers, as there is a lot of interest and a lot to cover.

I am just interested in your view on Lady Dorrian’s comments, particularly on the proposal in relation to the specialist sexual offences court. However, if you feel more comfortable responding in the context of the other provisions, that is absolutely fine.

Thank you. I move on to Sheila Webster and Alan McCreadie. You do not both have to come in; I leave it up to you.

James should still be there. Yes—there he is.

Thank you—that is helpful. Katy Clark has a question about independent legal representation.

Would Katy Clark like to come back in?

Will you make your comments very brief? We are straying slightly, and other members want to come in.

I will start to pull things together. I have a supplementary from John Swinney—it will have to be the briefest supplementary—and Katy Clark would still like to come back in. I ask the witnesses to bear with us.

I will bring in Katy Clark, very quickly, if she would like to come in.

Thanks very much for that. Professor Munro, I said that I would bring you in next. Would you like to come in?
