Item in Private
I welcome members to the third Finance Committee meeting of the session.
The first item on the agenda is to seek the committee's agreement to discuss the second item in private. The committee agreed on 10 June that we should seek to appoint a standing adviser, in line with the arrangements that were set up by the previous committee. As we are now at the stage of considering the merits of individuals, I propose that we move into private session to allow us to do that.
