 The Justice Committee's third meeting of 2019. There are no apologies today. Agenda item 1 is consideration of two negative instruments. Multilingual standards forms fees, Scotland regulations 2018, SSI 2018-373 and Multilingual standard forms, consequential amendments, Scotland regulations 2018, SSI 2018, oblique 374. fourth. I am preparing any comments on either of these instruments. Is the committee therefore agreed that it does not wish to make any recommendations in relation to those two instruments? Agenda item 2 is feedback from the justice sub-committee on policing on its meeting of 17 January 2019. I refer members to paper 2, which is note by the clerk. Following the verbal report, there will be an opportunity for brief comments or questions, and I invite John Finnie to provide that feedback. Thank you, convener. As you know, convener, the justice sub-committee on policing met on the 17 January, and we took evidence from the Cabinet Secretary for Justice on the policing aspects of the Scottish Government's draft budget for 2019-20. The sub-committee asked the cabinet secretary to respond to the view expised by the Scottish Police Authority in Police Scotland that the draft budget falls short of what the police service requires to meet the demands placed upon it. For example, the capital budget is insufficient to fund the agreed digital data and ICT strategy and maintain its fleet and estate. The cabinet secretary told the sub-committee that he expects the additional £12 million of capital funding to be used by Police Scotland to implement its digital data and ICT strategy to explain that the strategy includes civil individual elements, and the cost of each element will not be known until Police Scotland produces a full business case for each. The remaining capital funding is to be used by Police Scotland to maintain its fleet and estate. The sub-committee queried whether it was sufficient as it had remained the same as the previous financial year when Police Scotland overspent its fleet management by around £6 million. The cabinet secretary acknowledged that that was an issue and committed to considering how to address it before the next spending review. The cabinet secretary confirmed that the revenue funding would cover the increase in staff numbers at the SPA and agreed to pay award for police officers. The cabinet secretary also confirmed that, due to on-going uncertainty around Brexit, the current assumptions underpinning the overall budget for policing remain subject to review in light of Brexit-related planning being undertaken by the Police Scotland and the SPA. We will meet next on 31 January when we will hear from the chief constable on the draft budget and his priorities for 1920. Do members have any comments or questions on the report? I think that it was a good evidence session and we certainly put on our concerns about the digital budget and the need to arm our police or to make sure that they have the tools that they need. We did flag up the fleet and the infrastructure, so I think that it was a very worthwhile session. If there are no other comments, then that concludes the public part of today's meeting. Our next meeting will be on 29 January 2019, where we will be seeking to finalise our stage 1 report on the management of Offendersville. And we now move into private session.
