Good morning, and a warm welcome to everyone to the 11th meeting in 2018 of the Social Security Committee. I remind everyone to turn mobile phones and other devices to silent, so that they do not disrupt the meeting.
We have received apologies from Mark Griffin MSP and Adam Tomkins MSP. Gordon Lindhurst is here to substitute for Adam Tomkins—a warm welcome to you, too.
Does the committee agree to take agenda items 3 and 4 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
