Good morning and welcome to the 23rd meeting in 2019 of the Social Security Committee. I remind everyone to turn mobile phones and other devices to silent mode so that they do not disrupt our meeting. We have received no apologies, but one of our members, Michelle Ballantyne, has been delayed due to a constituency matter. I hope that she will be able to join us later.
Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. Do members agree to take in private item 3, which is consideration of the evidence that we will take under item 2 and of our pre-budget report?
Members indicated agreement.
