Decisions on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Margaret Mitchell):

Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the 17th meeting in 2008 of the Equal Opportunities Committee. I remind all those present that mobile phones and BlackBerrys should be switched off completely, as they interfere with the sound system even when they are switched to silent.

Does the committee agree to consider mainstreaming guidance in private at a future meeting?

Members indicated agreement.

Does the committee agree to consider its approach to an inquiry into female offenders in the criminal justice system in private at a future meeting?

Members indicated agreement.

Immediately following our discussion, the details of the proposed inquiry will be available on the committee's website.
