Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Martin Whitfield)

Good morning. I welcome everyone to the seventh meeting in 2025 of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee. I have received apologies from Ruth Maguire, and I welcome Rona Mackay as her substitute.

Our first agenda item is a decision on taking business in private. Item 3 is consideration of the evidence that we are about to hear from two panels on a member’s bill. Item 4 is consideration of correspondence that we have received from another committee. Is the committee happy to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
