Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Michael McMahon)

Good morning and welcome to the 19th meeting in 2015 of the Public Petitions Committee. 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.

Under item 1, I seek the committee’s agreement to take in private item 3, on a new petition, and item 4, on the review of the petitions process. Do members agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
