Education Committee, 08 Oct 2003

Meeting date: Wednesday, October 8, 2003

Item in Private

The Convener (Robert Brown):

I kick off this meeting of the Education Committee with an apology for starting slightly late. As we are in public session, I ask everyone to switch off their mobile phones and pagers so we do not get any nasty bleeps during the meeting.

We have quite a full agenda. Under item 1, I seek the committee's agreement to take in private item 5, which involves a follow-up paper on our previous consideration of the Scottish Executive's draft budget. The normal practice with items on committee reports is that they are taken in private. Are we agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
