Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the 27th meeting in 2019 of the Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee. Please make sure that your mobile phones are on silent.

We have received apologies today from Jamie Greene and Stewart Stevenson. I welcome their substitutes, Finlay Carson and Christine Grahame.

Finlay Carson has not been to the committee before. Do you have any interests to declare?

I declare that I am a former partner in a farming business.

Thank you. Agenda item 1 is consideration of a decision on whether to take in private item 4, which is a chance to review today’s evidence session. Do members agree to do that?

Members indicated agreement.
