Item in Private

The Convener (Iain Smith):

It has gone time for the start of the meeting and I am pleased to say that we have a quorum. Before we start the formal business, I announce that Cathie Craigie is delayed on a train and will probably be about half an hour late. Pauline McNeill, who is to give evidence this morning, is on the same train and will also be slightly late. That should not affect our business too much—Alasdair Rankin, the clerk to the Subordinate Legislation Committee, has to leave fairly sharp to attend this morning's meeting of that committee, so we were going to take evidence from Margo MacDonald and Alasdair Rankin first in any case. I have received no other apologies.

Item 1 on the agenda is to consider whether to take item 5 in private. Item 5 is our continuing discussion on non-Executive bills. Are members content to take item 5 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
