Decision on Taking Business in Private

The committee's approval is sought to take in private agenda item 5, which is consideration of our work programme, which it has been our practice to consider in private. Our agreed future inquiries will, of course, be made public on our web page. Do we agree to take that item in private?

Members indicated agreement.

We have agreed to discuss in private a possible report on the Audit Committee's title and remit and we do not need to agree to take in private item 6, as the code of conduct for members of the Scottish Parliament requires our initial consideration of a complaint to be in private. Members will recall that we agreed at our previous meeting to consider in private our redraft of section 8 of the "Code of Conduct for Members of the Scottish Parliament", as what is proposed might not reflect our final views.

I close the public part of the meeting and wait for the assembled masses to leave.

Meeting continued in private until 15:32.
