Decision on Taking Business in Private
Good afternoon and welcome to the 20th meeting in 2009 of the Finance Committee, in the third session of the Scottish Parliament. I ask everyone to turn off their mobile phones and pagers.
I have received an apology from Joe FitzPatrick, who is attending the funeral in Dundee of a Black Watch soldier, Private Kevin Elliott, who was killed in an explosion while he was on duty in Afghanistan two weeks ago. Committee members will want to extend their thoughts and sympathy to Private Elliott's family on this day.
Do members agree to take in private item 4, which will be a discussion of our response to correspondence on the budget process from the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Sustainable Growth?
Members indicated agreement.
