Decisions on Taking Business in Private

Good morning. I welcome everyone to the 16th meeting in session 5 of the Education and Skills Committee. I remind everyone to turn their mobile phones and other devices to silent mode for the duration of the meeting.

The first item of business is to decide whether to take in private a number of items of business. First, is everyone content that item 6 on today’s agenda be taken in private?

Members indicated agreement.

There are a number of items that we will consider during the first week after the recess that I propose we also consider in private. They are listed on the agenda: they are consideration of two draft reports and an item on the committee’s work programme. Is everyone happy to agree that those three items be taken in private at our next meeting?

Members indicated agreement.
