Decisions on Taking Business in Private

Good morning and welcome to the second meeting of the Hutchesons’ Hospital Transfer and Dissolution (Scotland) Bill Committee. I remind members present to switch their mobile phones to silent.

We are missing one of our members, Ruth Maguire, who is currently moving amendments at the Local Government and Communities Committee. Depending on how long that takes, she might or might not pop in today, but I just wanted to put on the record why she is not with us.

I should also tell the witnesses that the gentleman to their left controls the microphones, so they do not have to worry about any of the buttons in front of them.

Agenda item 1 is a number of decisions on taking business in private. First, do we agree to take item 3 in private?

Members indicated agreement.

Secondly, do we agree to consider evidence at future meetings in private?

Members indicated agreement.

Thirdly, do we agree to consider key issues for the preliminary stage report in private at future meetings?

Members indicated agreement.
