I welcome everyone to the meeting. We have received apologies from Nanette Milne, and from Helen Eadie, whose attendance at the Edinburgh Tram (Line One) Bill Committee again clashes with the timing of this meeting. I ask Ken Macintosh to confirm that he is attending the meeting as a Labour substitute in place of Helen Eadie.
I am.
Item 1 is to consider whether to take in private item 5 to allow us to consider points that we wish to make in our budget report. Do we agree to take in private item 5?
Members indicated agreement.
