Decisions on Taking Business in Private

Good morning and welcome to the fifth meeting in 2021 of the Local Government and Communities Committee. Please ensure that all mobile phones are in silent mode.

Broadcasting will operate your microphone and camera as usual. After being called to speak, please allow a short pause to allow them to do so.

We have received apologies from Annie Wells, and Jeremy Balfour is here as here as her committee substitute.

Item 1 is consideration of whether to take in private item 7, which is consideration of the evidence that we have heard on the Travelling Funfairs (Licensing) (Scotland) Bill. Members are also asked to agree whether to take in private future consideration of our draft report on that bill. As we are meeting remotely, rather than asking whether everyone agrees to take that business in private, I will instead ask whether anyone objects. If there is silence, I will assume that everyone is content. Does anyone object?

No one has objected, so that is agreed.
