Decision on Taking Business in Private
Good morning. I welcome everyone to the Justice Committee’s first meeting in 2014—I feel as if we have never been away. A guid new year to everyone, including all our witnesses and those in the public area.
I 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.
No apologies have been received.
Under item 1, I invite the committee to agree to consider items 3 and 4 in private. Item 3 is consideration of a draft report on the proposed Public Services Reform (Prison Visiting Committees) (Scotland) Order 2014, and item 4 is consideration of the evidence that has been received to date on a legislative consent memorandum relating to forced marriage. Do members agree to take items 3 and 4 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
