Items in Private

I welcome everyone to the 11th meeting of the Audit Committee in 2006. We have quite a busy programme this morning, but I ask members to bear in mind the fact that I aim to finish the formal proceedings by 12 o'clock.

I welcome to the meeting the Auditor General for Scotland and members of Audit Scotland, the press and the public. I ask everyone to switch off their mobile phones and pagers to ensure that they do not interfere with our public address system. I have received apologies from Mary Mulligan, who is unable to attend until approximately 10.30 am.

Item 1 is to seek the committee's agreement to take in private items 7 and 8. Item 7 is to consider our approach to the Auditor General's reports "Community planning: an initial review" and "Public sector pension schemes in Scotland", and item 8 is to consider a draft report on Inverness College. Do members agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
