Decision on Taking Business in Private
Item 5 is simply a decision to take items 6 and 7 in private. We will consider items that we have not previously considered, and we will want to take a view on how to handle them.
The first is a request from the Audit Committee for a change to its title and remit; the second is a letter on the practical application of the "Code of Practice for Ministerial Appointments to Public Bodies in Scotland"—that is not the discussion that we have just had, but a different one. We might also want to consider in private whether to call witnesses for the review of section 8 of the code of conduct.
As it is usual practice to discuss the committee's approach to its work programme in private, do we agree that those items should be taken in private?
Members indicated agreement.
That concludes the public part of the meeting.
Meeting continued in private until 15:38.
