Items in Private
I welcome committee members, the public and the press to today's Local Government and Transport Committee meeting. Before I introduce our first panel, which includes the Minister for Finance and Public Service Reform, I will deal with item 1, which is consideration of whether to take items in private.
It is proposed that item 4, which is consideration of our draft stage 1 report on the Local Electoral Administration and Registration Services (Scotland) Bill, be considered in private, as is our normal practice. It is also suggested that we consider in private until it is finalised our report to the Communities Committee on the Planning etc (Scotland) Bill. Both reports will be published after we have discussed the drafts, as usual. Is that agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
Tommy Sheridan (Glasgow) (SSP) indicated disagreement.
Tommy Sheridan's dissent is noted.
