Item in Private
I call this meeting of the Local Government and Transport Committee to order. I wish all members a happy new year and I hope that the year ahead of us will be a productive one for the committee.
Today's meeting is likely to be mainly in private. Item 1 is to consider whether to deal in private with a paper on the Local Electoral Administration and Registration Services (Scotland) Bill. It is suggested that we take the item in private because the paper addresses the merits of potential witnesses and it would be inappropriate to consider it in public. Is it agreed that we consider item 2 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
Meeting continued in private until 14:41.
