Items in Private

Instead of a bong, I say bula. Welcome to the Scottish Parliament Audit Committee's 15th meeting in 2005. I remind members and others present to switch off their mobile phones and pagers. We have apologies from our deputy convener, Andrew Welsh, who is attending a Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body meeting and cannot be here, but we anticipate that everyone else will make it.

The first item on the agenda is for me to seek the committee's agreement to take agenda item 5 in private. Item 5 is consideration of the committee's approach to the reports from the Auditor General for Scotland that we are discussing under today's agenda. That is our standard business practice.

Are we agreed to take agenda item 5 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
