Petition PE1053, by Brian McKerrow Jnr, calls on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to make mandatory the audio and visual recording of all court proceedings and to prohibit the use of shorthand notes as a means of recording court proceedings. The petition was hosted on the e-petition system between 23 November 2006 and 30 April 2007, where it gathered 10 signatures.Do members have views on how we should deal with the petition?

I have some difficulty in understanding the reasoning behind the petition. It does not seem to make a strong case for change. On that basis, I suggest that we note the petition and close it.
