Items in Private

Welcome to the Finance Committee's 19th meeting in 2004. I remind everyone to turn off pagers and mobile phones. We have not received any apologies, although Ted Brocklebank has informed me that he has to leave at about 11 o'clock.

The first item on the agenda is to decide whether to consider item 4 in private. I propose that item 4 be taken in private because our discussions will inevitably touch on our draft report on the budget process. I also propose that we consider the draft report on the Prohibition of Smoking in Regulated Areas (Scotland) Bill in private at our next meeting. Are members content to discuss those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
