Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Sandra White)

Good morning and welcome to the seventh meeting in 2016 of the Social Security Committee. I welcome to the meeting the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions and his officials. I remind everyone to turn off their mobile phones, as they interfere with the sound system. No apologies have been received.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on whether to take in private consideration of the evidence that we will hear under item 2. Does the committee agree to do that?

Members indicated agreement.
