Decision on Taking Business in Private
Good morning, colleagues. Welcome to the seventh meeting in 2013 of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee. We have apologies from John Lamont.
I want to say a few words about Brian Adam, a fellow committee member, who died recently. I attended his funeral in Aberdeen last Friday. Brian was a great friend and colleague. I ask for a short silence in memory of Brian.
Thank you.
I ask everyone to ensure that they have their BlackBerrys and mobiles switched off. I managed to remember to switch mine off before today’s meeting; I normally make that request and then remember that I have to switch off my own one, too.
Item 1 is to decide whether to take in private item 6, which is the committee’s consideration of its work programme. Do we agree to take item 6 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
