Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I have listened to contributions to this debate with great interest. I would like to pay tribute to the committee for its work, and I'd like to thank Members for the report. Of course, as a former Chair of this committee, I have an understanding of its work, and I do acknowledge the comments made in the report on how challenging the remit of the committee is in terms of managing your workload and delivering against that workload.

Effective scrutiny by committees is extremely important in order to ensure good governance, and it is a crucial part of parliamentary democracy. The report, broadly speaking, separates into three sections, which consider the committee's work in scrutinising legislation, constitutional issues and, thirdly, justice. I will make my comments today based on similar sections.
