Item in Private

I open the 23rd meeting of the Communities Committee in 2005 and remind members to turn off their mobile phones.

Item 1 is to ask the committee whether it wishes to take in private item 5, which concerns the committee's approach to the 2006-07 budget process. Are members agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

Agenda item 2 was to be a declaration of interests but, unfortunately, Euan Robson has not yet appeared. As a result, I suggest that we defer agenda items 2 and 3 to the end of today's public meeting. When Mr Robson appears, I will ask him immediately to declare any interests that relate to the Housing (Scotland) Bill.
