Decision on Taking Business in Private

Welcome to the 13th meeting in 2019 of the Public Petitions Committee. Agenda item 1 is a decision on whether to take items 4 and 5 in private. Do members agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.

Before we move on to item 2, I want to pass on my best wishes to Stephen Fricker, who has been one of our clerks ever since I became convener. I wish him well in his adventures. He has the thoughts of the committee with him. We are grateful for all the work that he has done to make the committee as open as it is to petitioners. We appreciate everything that he has done.

I welcome Rosie Douglas, who is here to witness the work of the committee today.
