Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, and welcome to the 11th meeting in 2021 of the Local Government and Communities Committee. I ask members to ensure that all mobile phones are on silent. I remind everyone that broadcasting staff will operate your camera and microphone as usual. Please allow a short pause after being called to speak to allow them to do so.

Before we move on to item 1, I apologise for the delay in starting this morning. It was because of technical issues.

Item 1 is consideration of whether to take items 4 and 5 in private. Item 4 is consideration of the evidence that we will hear today on people with no recourse to public funds, and item 5 is consideration of an analysis of responses in relation to licensing of static mobile homes with permanent residents. As we are meeting remotely, rather than ask whether everyone agrees, I will ask whether anyone objects. If there is silence, I will assume that members are content. Does anyone object?

As no one objects, that is agreed, and items 4 and 5 will be taken in private.
