Decision on Taking Business in Private
Good morning and welcome to the 27th meeting in 2020 of the Public Audit and Post-legislative Scrutiny Committee. Before we begin, I remind members, witnesses and staff who are present in the room that social distancing measures are in place in committee rooms and across the Holyrood campus. In addition, a face covering must be worn when moving around, exiting and entering the committee room, although it can be removed once you are seated at the table in the committee room. I also remind everyone to turn any mobile devices to silent so that they do not disturb the committee’s work.
We have received apologies from Willie Coffey MSP and Neil Bibby MSP. I welcome John Mason MSP and Johann Lamont MSP, who are attending in their place.
Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. Do any members object to taking items 3 and 4 in private? If Alex Neil MSP, who is joining us remotely, objects, please can he raise his hand? No one objects. The committee is therefore agreed to take items 3 and 4 in private.
