Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning. We have had no apologies from members, but Margaret Smith has intimated that she is running late. She will join us shortly.

The first agenda item concerns a decision to take items 4, 5 and 6 in private. Item 4 concerns the committee's arrangements to pay witness expenses. It is common practice for committees to consider such matters in private. Item 5 relates to the committee's approach to the consideration of our inquiry into the effective use of police resources, and item 6 relates to the potential candidates for the post of adviser in connection with that inquiry. Again, it has been past practice to consider such items in private.

Do we agree to take those three items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
