Decision on Taking Business in Private

I convene the Public Audit Committee’s fifth meeting of 2011 in session 4. I remind members and anyone else who is attending to ensure that all electronic devices are switched off. I have received apologies from Tavish Scott—Liam McArthur will attend in his place at some point—and from Humza Yousaf. Gil Paterson is here in Humza Yousaf’s place. I do not think that he requires to declare any interests; he has done that before.

I have declared my interests before. I have just turned off my phone, though—I will declare that.

Good man.

I welcome the Auditor General for Scotland and Audit Scotland representatives. Later, we will hear from Accounts Commission representatives.

Under agenda item 1, does the committee agree to take in private items 4 and 5?

Members indicated agreement.
