Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Dave Thompson)

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the eighth meeting in 2013 of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee. I remind members and others to turn off mobile phones and BlackBerrys. I welcome George Adam to his first meeting as a full member of the committee.

The first item today is for the committee to agree to take item 6 in private. Item 6 is to discuss the committee’s consultation on the parliamentary reform review. Do members agree to take that item in private?

Members indicated agreement.
