I turn briefly to some administrative items. Item 3 is a decision on taking business in private. Does the committee agree to take its consideration of candidates for the post of budget adviser in private at its next meeting?
Item 4 is another decision on taking business in private. Does the committee agree to take item 7, which is consideration of written evidence received on the Damages (Scotland) Bill, item 8, which is consideration of the main themes arising from today’s oral evidence on that bill, and any consideration of the main themes arising from later written and oral evidence on the bill, in private at future meetings?
