Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Murdo Fraser)

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the 11th meeting in 2015 of the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee. I welcome all members, our witnesses—who I will come to in a moment—and anyone joining us in the public gallery. I remind everyone to turn off or at least turn to silent all mobile phones and other electronic devices so that they do not interfere with the sound equipment.

I formally record the committee’s thanks to our former assistant clerk, Diane Barr, who has left the committee to work for the non-Government bills unit. Diane was with the committee for a number of years. We all appreciated her efforts and her cheerful support for the work of the committee over that time, and we wish her all the best in her new role. I welcome Ailsa Burn-Murdoch—she is not here at the moment; she was here a second ago—who joins us from the Equal Opportunities Committee as the new assistant clerk.

We now move to item 1 on the agenda. Do I have the committee’s agreement that we take item 3 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
