Item in Private

I welcome everyone to the first meeting back after the October recess. I ask Kenneth Macintosh to confirm that he is attending the meeting in place of Helen Eadie, who has had to send her apologies because once again there is a clash in the timing of the meetings of the Edinburgh Tram (Line One) Bill Committee and the Health Committee. Are you here in your capacity as a Labour Party committee substitute?

I am.

I have also received late apologies from Kate Maclean, who is unwell.

Item 1 is to ask the committee whether it agrees to take in private item 5, so that we can consider our draft budget report. That is now fairly standard procedure. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
