Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Jamie Stone):

I welcome everyone to the 30th meeting in 2008 of the Subordinate Legislation Committee. I extend a particular welcome to Eric Brown, who has joined the legal team. Eric is an advocate. He is very welcome.

We have received apologies from Jackson Carlaw. Will everyone please turn off their BlackBerrys and mobiles?

Under agenda item 1, we must decide whether to go into private session for item 9, which is consideration of our areas of questioning on the Health Boards (Membership and Elections) (Scotland) Bill. That will give us the opportunity to think about things and decide on what we want to do. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
