Items in Private

Good morning, everyone. Before we start the main agenda item, do committee members agree to take items 4 and 5 in private, given that they both relate to the consideration of draft responses?

Members indicated agreement.

I think that we can indulge you, convener.

Thank you, Lyndsay.

Does Robert Brown want to say something before we start?

I declare an interest, given my membership of the Law Society of Scotland and my consultancy with Ross Harper solicitors.

We have apologies from Linda Fabiani, who is unable to attend the meeting for personal reasons, and from the convener, Johann Lamont, who is expected to be here just before 11 o'clock.
