Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (David Stewart)

Good morning. I welcome everyone to today’s meeting of the Public Petitions Committee. As always, I remind people to turn off any mobile phones or electronic equipment, which can interfere with our sound system.

I welcome guests from the City of Edinburgh Council, who are in the public gallery. I understand that they are observing us because they have set up their own petitions committee. They are very welcome—perhaps we can observe their petitions committee in due course.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. Does the committee agree to take item 4 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
