Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Dave Thompson)

Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the 10th meeting in 2013 of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee. I remind members and others to turn off mobile phones and BlackBerrys, please.

Agenda item 1 is to decide whether to take in private items 4, 5, 6 and 7. Item 4 is consideration of evidence for the inquiry into post-legislative scrutiny, item 5 is to discuss the committee’s approach to its inquiry on Presiding Officer and Deputy Presiding Officer elections, item 6 is to consider a draft report on the review of the “Code of Practice for Ministerial Appointments to Public Bodies in Scotland”, and item 7 is consideration of the process for Scottish Public Services Ombudsman special reports. Do members agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
