Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, and welcome to the 15th meeting of the Local Government and Communities Committee in 2020. I thank the broadcasting office staff for their work in helping to organise the meeting. I ask everyone to ensure that their mobile phones are in silent mode.

Today’s main business is an evidence session on building regulations and fire safety, but first, agenda item 1 is consideration of whether to take item 3 in private. Item 3 is consideration of evidence heard at today’s meeting. As we are meeting remotely, instead of asking whether everyone agrees, I will ask whether anyone objects. If there is silence, I will assume that you are content. Does anyone object? Silence is acquiescence in this case. As no member objects, it is agreed that item 3 will be taken in private.
