Decisions on Taking Business in Private

Item 4 is a decision on taking business in private. I seek the committee's approval to take items 5 and 6 in private.

Under item 5, the committee will consider a report from the standards commissioner. Given that it contains confidential information, it would be better to take that report in private. Are we agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

Under item 6, the committee is invited to consider its approach to the inquiry into the budget process and from which witnesses it wishes to hear evidence as part of its work programme. It is our normal practice to discuss the committee's approach to its work programme in private. Are we agreed to take that item in private as well?

Members indicated agreement.

Meeting continued in private until 16:24.
