Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Bill Aitken)

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I remind everyone to switch off mobile phones. We have received no apologies—all members are present.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. Items 2 to 5 on the agenda involve consideration of two draft affirmative instruments. As a preliminary to that, we need to decide whether to consider draft reports on the two instruments in private at future meetings, as is our normal practice. Do members agree to consider those reports in private?

Members indicated agreement.
