Agenda item 2 is consideration of petition PE763, on the regulation of the legal profession. I refer to the clerk's note, which sets out the position with respect to the Executive's consultation on the regulation of the legal profession and the United Kingdom Government's plan to introduce a white paper on the subject.It is expected that legislation will be introduced in the Parliament before the end of the session and that the Justice 2 Committee will deal with it. Therefore, it seems appropriate to refer the petition to the Justice 2 Committee. Do members agree?Members indicated agreement.
