Items in Private
I welcome Tavish Scott, the Deputy Minister for Finance and Public Service Reform. I also welcome David Robb, who is head of the Executive's public bodies unit, and Morris Fraser, who is also from the public bodies unit. They are with us for item 2 on the agenda. We have another item to deal with first, so we will come to them in a minute.
I welcome the press and public to today's meeting and I wish everybody a happy new year. I remind people to turn pagers and mobile phones off. There are no apologies; all the committee's members are here.
Item 1 on the agenda is to consider whether to discuss agenda item 4 in private. As we will be talking about potential expenses for an individual, I think that it would be appropriate to discuss the matter in private. Do members agree?
Members indicated agreement.
I also propose that we consider our draft report on the financial memorandum for the Transport (Scotland) Bill in private at our next meeting. Are members agreeable to that?
Members indicated agreement.
