Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the 14th meeting in 2010 of the Equal Opportunities Committee, which is our first meeting after the summer recess. I remind all those present, including members, that mobile phones and BlackBerrys should be switched off completely, as they interfere with the sound system even if they are switched to silent. We have received apologies from Christina McKelvie and Elaine Smith. I am pleased to welcome Bill Wilson, who is standing in for Christina McKelvie this morning.

The first item on the agenda is a decision whether to take item 5 in private. Item 5 is consideration of an approach paper from the committee’s budget adviser on the independent budget review. Are members agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
