Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the fifth meeting in 2015 of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee. I remind everyone to switch off mobile phones because they affect the broadcasting system.
Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. Do members agree to take in private item 2, which is on correspondence that has been sent to the Presiding Officer by Jim Murphy MP?
No. Could we take the item in public? I do not see why it should be taken in private. Could you comment on that, convener?
I will explain. I thought that, at this meeting, we might discuss the correspondence in private. I am in your hands—I am quite happy to take the item in public if members wish it. That will be fine.
I would like us to take it in public, because I do not see why it should be taken in private.
That is absolutely okay. We will take item 2 in public, in that case. Let us not worry about it.
