Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Karen Whitefield):

I open the 17th meeting in 2009 of the Education, Lifelong Learning and Culture Committee. I remind all those present that mobile phones and BlackBerrys should be switched off for the duration of the meeting.

I welcome Murdo Fraser. I assume that he has joined the committee for our consideration of the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Bill.

Agenda item 1 is to decide whether the committee's consideration of a draft stage 1 report on the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Bill should be taken in private at future meetings. Do members agree to take that approach?

Members indicated agreement.
