Decision on Taking Business in Private
I welcome members to the first formal meeting of the Education and Culture Committee in 2013. Although this is our first formal meeting, I point out that committee members have already undertaken three informal visits as part of our forthcoming inquiry.
I remind members and people in the gallery to ensure that all electronic devices are switched off at all times because they interfere with the sound system. As a slight change, I welcome to the meeting Oliver Crowe, who has won a Young Scot award and is attending this morning as part of his prize. I hope that you have an enjoyable day at the Parliament, Oliver.
The first item is consideration of whether to take in private item 5. Are members agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
