Decision on Taking Items in Private

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the first meeting in 2007 of the Justice 2 Committee. I wish the clerks and members of the committee a happy and successful new year.

We have received apologies from Colin Fox, who cannot make it to the meeting, and from Jeremy Purvis, who has a transport difficulty. Jeremy hopes to join us soon, however.

I remind everybody to switch off their mobile phones, pagers and BlackBerrys.

Agenda item 1 is to decide whether to take in private item 4, under which the committee will consider the evidence that it has taken on the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill. Do members agree to take item 4 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
