Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I welcome you to the meeting, and remind everyone to switch off their mobile phones. We have one apology this morning, from Cathie Craigie MSP.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. The committee is invited to consider whether an options paper and draft report on the Offences (Aggravation by Prejudice) (Scotland) Bill should be considered in private at future meetings. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
