Item 5 relates to settlement agreements. We have a report from the Scottish Government following a year of operation of the new arrangements. We are invited to highlight our work in that area in the legacy paper and to agree that the Scottish Government should continue to report annually, with future reports going to Parliament and being lodged with the Scottish Parliament information centre. Do members have any comments?
Convener, one of your colleagues, Ken Macintosh, was quite vociferous in his calls for more openness. To be fair, we are getting more openness, but I would certainly welcome—although I will not be here—future reports being addressed to the Parliament and being lodged with SPICe.
If there are no other comments, we will, as previously agreed, move into private session.
