Decision on Taking Business in Private

Welcome to the 10th meeting of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee. I remind members and guests to switch off mobile phones, BlackBerrys and other such instruments that might interrupt us.

Before we get into our round-table discussion, we will deal with one or two short items of business.

I ask the committee to agree to consider three draft reports in private. The reports concern our review of cross-party groups; section 7 of the code of conduct; and the Scotland Act 2012 standing order rule changes. Does the committee agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
