I welcome members to the 28th meeting in 2014 of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee. As always, I ask members to turn off their mobile phones.
Item 1 is a decision on whether to take business in private. It is proposed that we take items 7 and 8 in private. Item 7 is consideration of the delegated powers provisions in the Mental Health (Scotland) Bill at stage 1. It is also suggested that we take further stage 1 consideration of the bill in private. Item 8 is consideration of a draft report on the Welfare Funds (Scotland) Bill. Does the committee agree to take items 7 and 8 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
Does the committee also agree to take further consideration of the Mental Health (Scotland) Bill at stage 1 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
Members will also note that, in line with previous decisions of the committee, items 9 and 10 will also be in private.
