Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning. I welcome everyone to the second meeting of the Justice Committee in 2014, and ask everyone to switch off mobile phones and other electronic devices completely, as they interfere with the broadcasting system, even when they are switched to silent. No apologies have been received. I welcome yet again Graeme Pearson to a meeting of the Justice Committee.

Thank you.

Not at all.

Under item 1, I invite the committee to agree to consider items 3 and 4 in private. Item 3 is consideration of a draft report to the European and External Relations Committee on our European Union work in 2013 and discussion of our EU engagement plans for 2014. Item 4 is consideration of a draft report on the legislative consent memorandum relating to forced marriage in particular. Do members agree to take items 3 and 4 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
