Decision on Taking Business in Private
Welcome to the final meeting in 2008 of the Scottish Parliament's Public Petitions Committee.
We have a very busy agenda this afternoon, with a series of new petitions and a number of petitions that have been in the system for some time.
Under item 1, I ask the committee to agree to take in private item 7, which involves consideration of our approach to the debate on petition PE1171, on knife crime, which will be held in the parliamentary chamber on 23 January. The clerk and I have had a number of meetings with the key people who will be involved in the event, and we are pulling that work together.
Do we agree to discuss that matter in private?
Members indicated agreement.
