Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (David Stewart)

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I welcome you all to this meeting of the Public Petitions Committee. As always, I ask you to switch off mobile phones and other electronic equipment because they interfere with our sound system.

I am afraid that the weather has led to a couple of casualties this morning. Angus MacDonald and Chic Brodie have been delayed, but we hope that they will appear at some time during the proceedings.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. Does the committee agree to take in private agenda item 6, on external research, and agenda item 7, on the committee’s work programme?

Members indicated agreement.
