Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Jamie Stone)

I welcome everyone to the fifth meeting this year of the Subordinate Legislation Committee. I welcome Katie Boyle, a trainee solicitor who has been seconded to us. Katie has been with us for six months, but she is going back to Victoria Quay. We will almost certainly see her again, perhaps in a more formal capacity at the end of the table—we will wait and see on that one. Thanks for all that you have done, Katie.

I have received no apologies. I am assuming that our colleague Helen Eadie will join us. I ask everyone to turn off mobiles and BlackBerrys.

The first agenda item is a decision on taking matters in private. The proposal is that we take items 9 to 12 in private. Is that okay?

Members indicated agreement.
