Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning and welcome to the Public Petitions Committee’s third meeting in 2016. I remind everyone present, including members, that mobile phones and BlackBerrys should be turned off completely as they interfere with the sound system, even when they are switched to silent.

The first item of business is consideration of whether to take agenda items 5 and 6 in private. Those items are discussions of our approach to our legacy paper and a witness expenses claim. We would normally consider such items in private. Do members agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
