Official Report 167KB pdf
Item 2 is to ask the committee whether it wishes to consider item 4, on its approach to its report on stage 1 of the budget process, in private, and whether it wishes to consider the draft stage 1 report in private on 14 May. Having an open discussion on the report would pre-empt its publication. The committee might therefore agree that it is not appropriate to hold a discussion of our approach to the report in public. For the same reason I ask members to agree to consider the draft report in private on 14 May. Is that agreed?
