Good morning and welcome to the 18th meeting in 2015 of the Scottish Parliament’s Finance Committee. I remind everyone to turn off any mobile phones, tablets or other electronic devices. We have received apologies from Richard Baker MSP. His train was cancelled so he is running late, but he will try to get here. Lo and behold, he has just walked through the door. Well done, Richard. We have a full complement for the minister.
Our first piece of business is a decision on whether to take in private agenda items 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 and whether to consider in private at future meetings the draft report on our inquiry into Scotland’s fiscal framework and our work programme. Do members agree to do that?
Members indicated agreement.
