Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning and welcome to the 24th meeting of the Local Government and Communities Committee in 2010. As is usual at this point, I remind members and the public to turn off all mobile phones and BlackBerrys.

I seek members’ agreement to take in private item 4, which is consideration of the evidence from the round-table session. I also ask members to agree to consider the evidence on our draft reports on the Private Rented Housing (Scotland) Bill and the Local Electoral Administration (Scotland) Bill, on which we had briefings this morning, in private at future meetings. Consideration of evidence on the draft budget will also come under that heading.

Members indicated agreement.
