Agenda item 1 is to ask the committee to agree to take agenda items 4 and 5 in private. Item 4 is to consider our conclusions to our "Renewing Local Democracy" inquiry; we certainly do not want the Executive to know what we are going to say about that. Item 5 is to agree on the wording of a draft motion for the forthcoming debate on the local government finance inquiry. Again, I am not terribly keen for the Executive to know what it is in for. Even though the committee has a reputation for taking rather a lot of items in private, do members agree to take items 4 and 5 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
