Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Hugh Henry)

Good morning and welcome to the first meeting in 2016 of the Welfare Reform Committee. I wish everyone a happy new year. New year’s day seems so long ago that it has faded into distant memory.

I ask everyone to make sure that their mobile phones and other electronic devices are silent and switched to aeroplane mode.

The first item on our agenda is to agree to take in private item 3, which is consideration of our report on the budget. Are we agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
