Item in Private

The Convener (Johann Lamont):

Welcome to this meeting of the Communities Committee. Elaine Smith offers her apologies for being unable to attend today's meeting.

Item 1 is to decide whether to take in private item 4, on the budget process 2005-06. Members will see that the item is an approach paper, which we have the option of taking in private, but we might take the view that that is not necessary, given that the paper just outlines some brief points on our approach to the budget. Are there any views? Are we content not to meet in private for that item?

I am content not to meet in private, because in this case there is no need.

Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
