Good morning. I welcome everyone to the Justice Committee’s 29th meeting in 2012. I ask everyone to switch off mobile phones and other electronic devices completely, as they interfere with the broadcasting system even when switched to silent.
No. I am not sure why item 5 needs to be taken in private. I have raised concerns previously in committee about the increasing amount of business that is being taken in private. I see no reason why the discussion of European Union issues and our priorities should be taken in private; they should be open to the scrutiny of Parliament.
I am frankly not bothered one way or the other.
I am quite happy with that.
Does the committee agree to take item 5 in public and item 6 in private?
