Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I open the formal part of the meeting and remind everyone to switch off their mobile phones. I have received apologies from Margaret Smith, who has asked her substitute, Mike Pringle, to attend in her place.

I do not require a declaration of interests from you, Mr Pringle, but will you confirm that you are substituting for Ms Smith?

I confirm that, convener.

The first agenda item is on the taking of business in private. I ask members to agree that item 6, which is the committee's discussion of its approach to its community policing inquiry, should be taken in private. Is the committee agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

Thank you.
