Items in Private

Item 2 is consideration of whether to take items in private. Item 4 is consideration of possible lines of questioning for witnesses and item 6 is consideration of a draft response to the Rural Development Committee on the draft orders for the Cairngorms national park. Are members happy to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.

At next week's meeting, the committee will consider lines of questioning for witnesses on the Organic Farming Targets (Scotland) Bill at stage 1. Do members agree to take that item in private next week?

Members indicated agreement.

I now hand over to the convener for item 3.

Good morning, colleagues. I apologise for my late arrival.

Elaine Thomson is ill and will not be here today. I understand that Helen Eadie intends to come along as a substitute for Elaine.
