Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Bill Aitken):

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I formally open the meeting by reminding everyone to switch off mobile phones. We have an apology from Bill Butler MSP, who is unfortunately unwell.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on whether to take in private item 5, under which the committee will consider whether it wishes to be involved in the scrutiny of the Alcohol etc (Scotland) Bill at stage 1. Does the committee agree to take item 5 in private?

Members indicated agreement.

Thank you.

Item 2 is also a decision on taking business in private. Does the committee agree to take in private at future meetings consideration of written and oral evidence received on the Legal Services (Scotland) Bill at stage 1?

Members indicated agreement.
