Decision on Taking Business in Private
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the committee's second meeting of the year. I ask everyone to ensure that all mobile phones and BlackBerrys are switched off.
The main purpose of today's meeting is to take evidence on the Crofting Reform (Scotland) Bill. This is the committee's first evidence session on the bill, and we will hear evidence from Professor James Hunter, followed by Scottish Government officials. We also have some statutory instruments and a couple of draft codes of practice to consider.
Item 1 is consideration of whether to take in private item 10, which is consideration of a report on the legislative consent memorandum on the United Kingdom Flood and Water Management Bill. Does the committee agree to take item 10 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
