Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, and welcome to the 11th meeting in session 5 of the Public Audit and Post-legislative Scrutiny Committee. I ask everyone present to switch off or switch to silent their electronic devices so that they do not affect the work of the committee. Apologies have been received from Alex Neil, Liam Kerr and Monica Lennon. I welcome to the committee Liz Smith, as Liam Kerr’s substitute, and James Kelly, as Monica Lennon’s substitute. I invite Liz and James to declare any interests that they consider to be relevant to the committee’s work.

I declare that I am a member of the General Teaching Council for Scotland and a member of the governing boards of two independent schools—George Watson’s College and St Mary’s School, Melrose.

I have no relevant interests to declare.

Thank you.
