Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning everyone, and welcome to the 22nd meeting in 2015 of the Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment Committee. I remind those in the gallery and those around the table to switch mobile phones to silent mode, as they can interfere with the broadcasting system. Some committee members are using tablets for the purpose of reviewing their committee papers.

We have received apologies from Graeme Dey, and I welcome Christian Allard to the meeting.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking items 3 and 4 in private this morning and on whether to consider our approach paper on the Scottish Government’s forthcoming land reform bill in private at future meetings, subject to formal parliamentary referral. Are we agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
