Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, members. Welcome to the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee’s fourth meeting in 2013. I remind members to turn off mobile phones, BlackBerrys and so on. We have apologies from Brian Adam, and George Adam is sitting in for him.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on whether to take items 4 to 6 in private. Those items deal with a paper on post-legislative scrutiny, a paper on our approach to the review of parliamentary reform and a paper on our approach to procedures for consideration of Scottish Public Services Ombudsman special reports. Do members agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
