Decisions on Taking Business in Private

Good morning. I welcome everyone to the Education and Skills Committee’s eighth meeting in 2017 and I remind everyone who is present to turn their mobile phones and other devices to silent mode for the meeting. I have received apologies from Tavish Scott, who is unwell, and from Fulton MacGregor, who is running late but should join us shortly.

The first item of business is decisions on whether to take a number of items in private. Item 3 is consideration of the evidence that we will hear on the children’s hearings system. Are members content to take that item in private?

Members indicated agreement.

Members indicated agreement.

We plan to hear from the Minister for Childcare and Early Years on 29 March. Are members content to review in private the evidence that we will hear from the minister on that date?

Members indicated agreement.
