Good morning and welcome to the second meeting in 2019 of the Social Security Committee. I remind everyone present to turn off their mobile phones or other devices or to switch them to silent mode to ensure that they do not disrupt the meeting.
We have had one apology this morning. Unfortunately, our deputy convener, Pauline McNeill MSP, cannot be with us.
Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. Does the committee agree to take in private item 5, which is consideration of the evidence that we will hear under item 3, on the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018?
Members indicated agreement.
