Decision on Taking Business in Private
Good afternoon and welcome to the second meeting in 2012 of the Equal Opportunities Committee. I remind members that mobile phones, BlackBerrys and so on should be turned off completely as otherwise they interfere with the sound system.
I start by introducing everyone. To my left, we have the clerking and research team, together with official reporters. Across the room we are joined by staff from broadcasting services and the security office. My name is Mary Fee. I invite committee members to introduce themselves.
I am a West Scotland MSP.
I am the MSP for Aberdeenshire West.
Good afternoon. I am a Highlands and Islands MSP.
I am a Central Scotland MSP.
I, too, am a Central Scotland MSP.
I am a West Scotland MSP.
Thank you.
Our first item of business is to decide whether to take in private item 4, on our work programme, in line with usual practice. Are we agreed to take that item in private?
Members indicated agreement.
