Items in Private

Good morning and welcome to the 13th meeting in 2004 of the Equal Opportunities Committee. It is probably the last meeting that we shall have in this room—she says with her fingers crossed.

We have received apologies from Marilyn Livingstone and Margaret Smith. Shiona Baird is unable to attend, so Patrick Harvie is here as her committee substitute. I welcome Patrick to the meeting.

Do members agree to take items 3 and 4 in private? Item 3 deals with consideration of the committee's approach to the Department of Trade and Industry white paper on the commission for equality and human rights in the light of the evidence that we will have heard. Item 4 concerns possible arrangements for an away day to consider the committee's forward work programme. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
