Decision on Taking Business in Private
Good morning. I welcome everybody to the committee's 11th meeting of the year and remind everybody to switch off their mobile phones and pagers, as they are likely to impact on the broadcasting system.
Although she has just gone out of the door, I welcome Karen Gillon back to the committee following her maternity leave. We express our thanks to Rhoda Grant for her constructive work as a substitute member of the committee throughout Karen's absence.
Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking item 5—consideration of the evidence that we will hear this morning, on the pig industry—in private. Are we agreed to take item 5 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
