Item in Private

Good morning, everyone. I am sorry for the delay in starting, but we cannot do much about the weather. Phil Gallie is supposed to be here as a substitute for John Scott, but I think that Phil may have fallen foul of the same problem that has created the delay. If he shows up, he will be attending in his capacity as committee substitute. We have received apologies from John Scott and Jackie Baillie, who cannot make it to the meeting.

Under agenda item 1, the committee is invited to consider taking item 4, which relates to the payment of witness expenses, in private. Do members agree to do that?

Members indicated agreement.
