Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning and welcome to the 14th meeting in 2017 of the Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Relations Committee. I remind members and the public to turn off their mobile phones, and any members using electronic devices to access committee papers during the meeting should ensure that they are switched to silent.

Everyone will be aware of the tragic events that occurred in Manchester earlier this week. As a mark of respect, the Parliament will hold a minute’s silence at 11 am. If we are still in public session, I will suspend the meeting shortly before 11 o’clock and resume proceedings after the minute’s silence.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on whether to take agenda item 3 in private. Are members content to do so?

Members indicated agreement.
