Decision on Taking Business in Private
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the 15th meeting in 2013 of the Scottish Parliament’s Finance Committee. First, I remind all who are present to turn off mobile phones, tablets and other electronic devices.
We have received apologies from Michael McMahon. Committee members and others will also have noted that the clerk for today’s meeting is Eugene Windsor. Our usual clerk, Jim Johnston, is unavailable because his wife, Emma, gave birth to a daughter, Alice, last week. She came in at a whopping 9lbs 8oz and will be a very noisy sister to young Lucy. I wish Jim, his wife, Emma, and his whole family all the best.
The first item is to decide whether to take item 3 in private. Do members agree?
Members indicated agreement.
