Item in Private

Good afternoon. I welcome members of the public and members of the committee to our 18th meeting of 2004 and our first meeting in these new surroundings at Holyrood. I am sure that everyone will agree that this committee room is an excellent place in which to conduct our committee work; I hope that it will be conducive to excellent work in the committee in the years to come.

Iain Smith, Tommy Sheridan and David Mundell are unable to attend today and have sent their apologies.

Under our first agenda item, it is proposed that agenda item 3—the committee's forward work programme, which the committee will obviously wish to discuss before approving—should be discussed in private. Do members agree that we should discuss the item in private?

Members indicated agreement.
