Decision on Taking Business in Private
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I remind everyone to switch off their mobile phones. We have received no formal apologies for absence, but some of the committee members are held up on a train that is coming from Glasgow, which seems to be a fairly commonplace occurrence at the moment. I have suffered the experience myself.
Item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. I invite the committee to agree that consideration of our draft stage 1 report on the Double Jeopardy (Scotland) Bill and our draft report on the affirmative instruments under consideration today should be taken in private at future meetings. Is that agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
