Good morning and welcome to the 18th meeting in 2014 of the Welfare Reform Committee. I ask everyone to ensure that their mobile phones and other electronic devices are switched to silent or to airplane mode.
Linda Fabiani has sent her apologies, as she is busy with work related to the Smith commission. Again, we welcome Kenneth Gibson in her place.
Agenda item 2 is a decision on whether to take item 4 in private. Item 4 is consideration of the evidence that we have received on the draft budget. Do members agree?
Members indicated agreement.
