Under agenda item 1, I ask members to consider whether to take items 4, 5 and 6 in private. Item 4 is consideration of a draft stage 2 report on the budget process 2003-04, item 5 is consideration of arrangements for handling the Organic Farming Targets (Scotland) Bill, including a discussion about potential witnesses—the committee has always held such discussions in private in the past, so I hope that members will agree to take that item in private—and item 6 is consideration of two claims under the witness expenses scheme. Do members agree to take items 4, 5 and 6 in private?
