 Good morning and welcome to the 16th meeting of 2023 in session 6 of the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee. We have no apologies this morning. Agenda item 1 is to invite our new members, Meghan Gallacher and Annie Wells, to declare any relevant interests starting with Meghan, please. Thank you, and thank you for your warm welcome to the committee this morning. No declarations of interest from me just now, but that could change in the future. If it does, I will certainly alert you to that. Thank you, convener. Once again, thank you for the warm welcome. I look forward to working with you all, and I have no interest to declare at this moment in time. Thank you to you both. Once again, on behalf of the committee, the warmest of welcomes. I move straight on to our next agenda item number two, which is to take items four, five and six in private. Are we all agreed? Agreed. We're all agreed. Agenda item three is subordinate legislation. It's to consider a negative SSI, the SSI 2023 forward slash 178, the legal aid and advice and assistance, miscellaneous amendment Scotland number three, regulations 2023. I refer members to paper one. Do members have any comments to make on this instrument? No member has indicated that they have any comments to make. That being the case, are members content formally not to make any comments to the Parliament on this instrument? Agreed. That concludes the consideration of the SSI. Thank you, and we will now move into private session to consider the remaining items on our agenda.
