Decision on Taking Business in Private
Welcome to the 35th meeting in 2018 of the Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform Committee. I remind everyone to switch off their mobile phones, as they might affect the broadcasting system.
There has been a change to the agenda that was originally published. We will suspend the meeting after agenda item 5 and reconvene at 2.30 pm to hear evidence from Scottish Government officials on a consent notification that the Scottish Government has sent to us under the terms of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
Richard Lyle and Rhoda Grant have resigned their membership of the committee. On behalf of the committee, I thank them both very much—in particular, Richard Lyle, who was a member of the committee for longer than Rhoda Grant—for their contributions to our work.
The first item on the agenda is to decide whether to take agenda item 7 in private. Do members agree to do so?
Members indicated agreement.
