Decisions on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Duncan McNeil):

Good morning and welcome to the 20th meeting of the Local Government and Communities Committee this year. I remind everyone to switch off their mobile phones and BlackBerrys.

Under agenda item 1, the committee is to consider whether to take items 5 and 6 in private. Item 5 is consideration of an approach paper on single outcome agreements, and such items are usually taken in private. Do I have the committee's agreement to take item 5 in private?

Members indicated agreement.

The Convener:

Item 6 is consideration of applications from candidates who are interested in being appointed as a budget adviser to the committee. The committee's consideration of such matters is normally taken in private. Do I have the committee's agreement to take item 6 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
