Agenda item 2 is to decide whether to take agenda items 3 and 4 in private. I think that we should take them in private because members will have to discuss their future diary commitments and agree on who we would like to provide oral evidence at our forthcoming preliminary stage meetings. Do members agree to take items 3 and 4 in private?
Before we move into private session, I thank all those who have submitted written evidence to the committee. All the submissions have been placed on our website and the promoter will no doubt read them closely before we take oral evidence. I also thank the promoter for the detailed responses that it has provided to the questions that we asked after our first meeting. That information will also be placed on our website and will interest those we will invite to give oral evidence. All the written information that has been received will help the committee in its immediate task of deciding who it would like to give oral evidence. More generally, it will inform our consideration of the bill at the preliminary stage and help us in writing our report.
Meeting continued in private until 13:05.
