Decision on Taking Business in Private

After some delay—I thank all who are present very much for their patience—I welcome members to the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee’s 13th meeting in 2014. I ask everyone to switch off mobile phones.

Item 1 is a decision on taking in private items 6 to 9. Item 6 allows us to consider further the delegated powers provisions in the Historic Environment Scotland Bill. Item 7 is consideration of the committee’s draft report on the Courts Reform (Scotland) Bill. Item 8 is consideration of whether we wish to provide additional information to the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee as part of its inquiry into the procedures for considering legislation. Finally, item 9 is consideration of the evidence that we are about to take on the Food (Scotland) Bill. Does the committee agree to take items 6 to 9 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
