Items in Private
I welcome members of the committee, members of the public and the press, and the minister and his officials to today's meeting of the Local Government and Transport Committee.
Before I properly introduce the minister and move on to the main item on our agenda, I ask the committee to agree to take item 3 in private. Item 3 is consideration of the possible contents of the committee's stage 1 report on the Licensing (Scotland) Bill. It is normal practice to consider in private draft reports and our preparation of draft reports. Is that agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
I also seek members' agreement that future consideration of that draft report be carried out in private until the report is agreed.
Members indicated agreement.
