Item in Private

The Convener (Alex Fergusson):

We now begin our formal meeting. As I have to do at the start of every meeting, I ask everyone to check that their mobile phones are turned off.

I have received no apologies today, and I think that Sylvia Jackson will be joining us later on. [Interruption.] I am sorry. We have an apology from Irene Oldfather.

Item 1 on the agenda is for the committee to decide whether to take item 8 in private. Item 8 is a discussion on appointing an adviser to the committee in connection with the next budget process. As we will be discussing individuals and names, do members agree to hold that item in private?

Members indicated agreement.
