Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning. I welcome everyone to the 32nd meeting in 2012 of the Justice Committee. I ask everyone to switch off mobile phones and other electronic devices completely as they interfere with the broadcasting system even when they are switched to silent.

Apologies have been received from Alison McInnes and David McLetchie. I welcome Margaret Mitchell, who is substituting for David McLetchie.

Under item 1, the committee is invited to consider whether to take item 3 in private. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

Thank you. We have to reach that item today as we must sign off our report on the budget, so I intend to be finished with the cabinet secretary by 11.15. Members have been told.
