Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Christine Grahame)

I welcome everyone to the Justice Committee’s 31st meeting in 2012 and ask everyone to switch off mobile phones and other electronic devices completely, as they interfere with the broadcasting system even when they are switched to silent. David McLetchie has sent his apologies.

Item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. Does the committee agree to consider items 6, 7 and 8 in private?

No.

Which items do you not want to take in private? Is it all of them or one in particular?

I see no good reason why items 7 and 8—consideration of our work programme and the Statute Law (Repeals) Bill—should be taken in private.

Let us move to item 2. We will take evidence from the minister first and deal with items 7 and 8 later.

Is that when we will decide whether to take the items in public or in private?

Yes. If it is all right, we will park item 1 and come back to it later.
