Jamieson has been made justice minister in the newly formed Scottish executive. Margaret Curran has been appointed to the new role of communities minister (social justice was the title in the last parliament). She is MSP for Glasgow Ballieston and will have the task of seeing Labour's controversial anti-social legislation through parliament.
