Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning and welcome to the fifth meeting in 2022 of the Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee. I ask all members and witnesses to ensure that their mobile phones are switched to silent and that all other notifications are turned off during the meeting.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. Do members agree to take items 3, 4, 5 and 6 in private? Item 3 relates to the committee’s approach to further consideration of understanding barriers to local elected office; item 4 is consideration of our approach to the Good Food Nation (Scotland) Bill; item 5 is a chance for the committee to agree its approach to new standards for fire alarms in all homes in Scotland; and item 6 is consideration of our approach to scrutiny of the Building Safety Bill legislative consent memorandum.

Members indicated agreement.
