Decisions on Taking Business in Private

Good afternoon and welcome to the Finance Committee's 24th meeting in 2009. I have received apologies from Jackie Baillie and I hope to welcome Lewis Macdonald, who will attend as the Labour Party substitute. I ask all committee members and members of the public to turn off mobile phones and pagers.

Agenda item 1 is to decide whether to take in private item 3, which is a discussion of the evidence that we have heard to date on the Public Services Reform (Scotland) Bill. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

I also propose that we take discussion of our draft stage 1 report on the bill in private at future meetings. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
