Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the 20th meeting in 2015 of the Public Petitions Committee. I ask everyone present to please turn off mobile phones and any other electronic equipment, as they interfere with the sound system.

Apologies have been received this morning from David Torrance and Jackson Carlaw. We have Jim Eadie in attendance to substitute for David Torrance—welcome to the committee, Jim. Angus MacDonald is moving amendments at the Education and Culture Committee, but he will join us later.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. Does the committee agree to take in private agenda item 3, which relates to witness expenses?

Members indicated agreement.
