Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Karen Whitefield):

I open the Education, Lifelong Learning and Culture Committee's first meeting in 2010. I wish everyone present a happy new year and hope that they all had a good Christmas and new year recess.

Before we begin, I should mention that Margaret Smith has given her apologies, as she is unable to attend today's committee meeting. I also understand that Ted Brocklebank will join us later for our session on local newspapers. In addition, I understand that we will be joined later by Claire Baker, who has been unavoidably delayed.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on whether to take in private agenda item 6, which relates to our continued consideration of the committee's forward work programme. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
