Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the sixth meeting in 2012 of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee. I remind members to turn off mobile phones and BlackBerrys.

The first item on today’s agenda is a decision on whether to take items 3, 4 and 5 in private. Items 3 and 5 are consideration of written evidence that has been received regarding the committee’s inquiries on cross-party groups and section 7 of the code of conduct. Item 4 is consideration of changes to public bills guidance on financial resolutions. Does the committee agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
