Decision on Taking Business in Private

I welcome members to the 19th meeting in 2015 of the Standards, Procedures and Pubic Appointments Committee. As usual, I remind everyone to switch off mobile phones, as they may affect the broadcasting system.

We have received apologies from Mary Fee and from her substitute Mark Griffin, whom I congratulate on his fatherhood—that is why he is not here as a substitute. We have also received apologies from Fiona McLeod. Colin Keir is substituting for her.

Agenda item 1 is a decision to take in private item 3, under which the committee will consider its work programme. Do members agree to take agenda item 3 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
