Decision on Taking Business in Private
The Convener (Karen Whitefield)
Good morning. I open the fifth meeting of the Education, Lifelong Learning and Culture Committee in 2010. I remind all those who are present that mobile phones and BlackBerrys should be switched off for the duration of the meeting.
I start by giving some apologies. Elizabeth Smith will be late; she is trying to get here, but due to a major road traffic accident in the Dunblane area she is experiencing difficulties. Margaret Smith is unwell. I understand that Claire Baker will join us when her late train arrives.
Our first agenda item is a decision on whether to consider in private our approach paper to the Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Bill and to conduct in private our future deliberations on the committee’s work programme. Is that agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
