Decision on Taking Business in Private

Welcome to the Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform Committee’s seventh meeting in 2020. I remind everyone to switch off their mobile phones or, at least, to put them in silent mode, because they might affect the broadcasting system. We have received apologies from Angus MacDonald and Stewart Stevenson.

Agenda item 1 is to ask the committee to decide whether to take in private agenda item 5, under which the committee will consider the evidence that we will hear today on the draft Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016 (Register of Persons Holding a Controlled Interest in Land) Regulations 2021 and the draft Right to Buy Land to Further Sustainable Development (Eligible Land, Specified Types of Area and Restrictions on Transfers, Assignations and Dealing) (Scotland) Regulations 2020. Are members content to take agenda item 5 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
