Good afternoon and welcome to this meeting of the Scottish Affairs Committee, our second meeting of the day.  And this afternoon, we're resuming our inquiry into the dual role of the Lord Advocate.  And we're very pleased to have our first witness here today, this afternoon.  So, would you like to introduce yourself and what you do?

Yes, thank you very much, Chair.  My name's James Wolffe. 

I was the Lord Advocate between 2016 and 2021.  I currently have a variety of professional and charitable and other things that I do.  I didn't tell you that the Lord Advocate is responsible for a number of functions which are fundamental to the maintenance of the rule of law in Scotland.  Those functions could be distributed and organised in other ways.  Various models are available, and no institution should be immune from critical review. 

As Dr. MacCormick explained to you last week, all approaches to the organisation of the functions, which in Scotland are held by the Lord Advocate, involve trade-offs.
