Item in Private

The Convener (Sarah Boyack):

I welcome members, witnesses and members of the press and public. We have received no apologies. Richard Lochhead has indicated that he is interested in attending the meeting for item 2. I remind members to switch off their mobile phones, so that there are no irritating noises.

Item 1 on the agenda concerns an issue that we have identified in advance. The committee is asked to consider taking in private item 4, on the arrangements for our inquiry into the implementation of common agricultural policy reform. We will discuss potential witnesses and organisations from which we want to take evidence. Does the committee agree to take item 4 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
