Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Michael McMahon)

Good morning and welcome to the 16th meeting in 2015 of the Public Petitions Committee. I remind everyone who is present to switch off their mobile phones and BlackBerrys completely, as they affect the sound system. We have received apologies from Hanzala Malik.

Under item 1 on the agenda, I seek the committee’s agreement to take agenda items 5 and 6, on a new petition and on witness expenses, in private. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
