Item in Private

We have a quorum, and it is nearly 2 minutes past 2. I welcome everybody to the fourth meeting in 2005 of the Enterprise and Culture Committee. No apologies have been received. I remind everybody to switch off their mobiles.

Before we start, I think that the committee should congratulate Scottish Development International on coming top out of 178 investment agencies throughout the world in an annual performance benchmarking exercise. When Scotland is at the top of the table worldwide, we should celebrate it.

Item 1 is consideration of whether we should take item 4 in private. Is it agreed that we take item 4 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
