Decision on Taking Business in Private
Good morning and welcome to the third meeting of the Burrell Collection (Lending and Borrowing) (Scotland) Bill Committee. I remind all who are present to turn off their mobile phones and BlackBerry-type devices, as they can interfere with the sound system. We have received apologies from Gordon MacDonald MSP, who is unable to attend, although he has submitted some written questions through his colleagues. As far as I can see, no additional MSPs are present.
I welcome Sir Peter Hutchison, who is chair of the Burrell trustees, and Mr Robert Taylor, who is the law agent of the testamentary trustees of the Burrell collection.
Our first item is to decide whether to take in private item 3, which is consideration of evidence and the committee’s next steps in its scrutiny of the bill at the preliminary stage. Do members agree to that?
Members indicated agreement.
