Decision on Taking Business in Private
I welcome members to the seventh meeting in 2018 of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee, and I welcome the Minister for UK Negotiations on Scotland’s Place in Europe, Michael Russell, and his officials, who are here to give evidence on the UK Withdrawal from the European Union (Legal Continuity) (Scotland) Bill.
Before that evidence session begins, the committee must decide whether to take business in private. It is proposed that the committee takes agenda items 6 and 7 in private. Item 6 is consideration of the delegated powers provisions in the Prescription (Scotland) Bill, and item 7 is consideration of the evidence that we are about to hear from the minister and his officials. Does the committee agree to take those items in private?
Members indicated agreement.
