Decisions on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, and welcome to the 16th meeting in 2025, in session 6, of the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee. We have received no apologies.

Under our first agenda item, we will take a decision on whether to take agenda items 5 to 8 in private. Agenda item 5 is consideration of the committee’s approach to stage 1 of the Children (Withdrawal from Religious Education and Amendment of UNCRC Compatibility Duty) (Scotland) Bill; item 6 is consideration of a draft report on the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill legislative consent memorandum; item 7 is consideration of a draft letter to the Scottish Government on the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; and item 8, which is our final agenda item, is consideration of the committee’s work programme. Do we agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
