Item in Private

The Deputy Convener (Janis Hughes):

I welcome you all to the third meeting in 2005 of the Health Committee. First of all, I intimate that I have received apologies from Shona Robison and Kate Maclean.

The first item on the agenda is to consider whether to take item 4 in private. Item 4 concerns our approach to consideration of the Smoking, Health and Social Care (Scotland) Bill. The reason for the proposal to take that item in private is that we may wish to discuss potential witnesses and options for our approach to evidence-taking sessions. When we have discussed potential witnesses previously, we have chosen to do so in private. If no member objects, I ask the committee to agree to take item 4 in private. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
