Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Jackson Carlaw)

Good morning, and welcome to the 19th meeting in 2025 of the Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee. Our first item of business is to decide whether to take item 4 in private, to consider the evidence that we will hear this morning. Are colleagues content to do so?

Members indicated agreement.

The Convener

We have received apologies from Fergus Ewing and, as he is an independent member now, there is no substitute for him. Maurice Golden has been called to speak on amendments to a bill that he is progressing, which is being considered by our colleagues in the Rural Affairs and Islands Committee. He was here and then was summoned away, but we hope that he will join us again at some point during this morning’s proceedings.
