Items in Private

The Convener (Roseanna Cunningham):

I call the meeting to order. I apologise for my late arrival, although I see that everybody else has had problems getting here, which are no doubt connected with the fact that the lift is out of order. Those who try to use the lift as their first resort are finding things difficult.

I have received apologies from Mike Rumbles, who cannot be here. I welcome Mary Scanlon, who has joined us to speak to one of the petitions.

Item 1 is to consider whether to take items 4 and 5 in private. Item 4 is on the eating disorders inquiry; we need to discuss named witnesses for formal evidence taking. Item 5 is to consider a second draft of the stage 1 report on the Prohibition of Smoking in Regulated Areas (Scotland) Bill. Can I assume that everyone is happy with the proposal to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
