I propose that we hold next week's meeting in private. We will be hearing evidence from the committee adviser on local government finance, Rita Hale. We want to be able to have a frank and open discussion about our intentions and the way in which we intend to take our work forward. I am not sure whether we want to show our hand to the Executive at this stage. Holding the meeting in private would allow us to have a practical, confidential discussion about whom we would like to call as witnesses and what we want in the way of researchers and advisers. I know that some members are not keen on private discussions but, in this case, given that it will be a complex and complicated report, we need to have a good discussion with Rita Hale.
Members indicated agreement.
Meeting continued in public until 14:35.
