Good morning, and welcome to the ninth meeting in session 7 of the Rural Affairs Committee. Before we begin, please ensure that all electronic devices are switched to silent.
Our first item of business is consideration of decisions on taking in private items 5 and 6 and on whether consideration of a draft report on the rural support plan should be taken in private at item 7 and at future meetings. Item 5 is consideration of the evidence that we will hear on the outdoor access inquiry, and item 6 is consideration of a draft letter on pre-budget scrutiny. For clarity, I will ask two questions. Do we agree to take items 5 and 6 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
Do we agree to take item 7 in private at this meeting and at future meetings?
Members indicated agreement.
Our second item of business is a decision on taking next week’s agenda items in private. We seek to agree to that today in order to avoid having to go into public session for a very short time next week. Next week’s items, which members are invited to agree to take in private, are our discussions on the committee’s objectives and its work programme. Do we agree to take those items in private at next week’s meeting?
Members indicated agreement.
