Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Clare Adamson)

Good morning and welcome to the Education and Skills Committee’s 27th meeting in 2019. I remind everyone to switch mobile phones and other devices to silent for the duration of the meeting. Apologies have been received from Jenny Gilruth and I warmly welcome Gil Paterson, who is substituting for her this morning.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on whether to take in private at future meetings consideration of our draft report on science, technology, engineering and mathematics—STEM—in early years education. Is the committee content to do that?

Members indicated agreement.
