Item in Private

Good morning, colleagues. We are a little light on numbers, but I am sure that others are on their way. We have apologies from Karen Gillon, who is on committee business elsewhere in the country. It is hoped that Irene Oldfather will attend as her substitute.

Agenda item 1 is consideration of whether to take in private item 3, which is on our continuing discussion of question times. Do members agree to that?

Is there a particular reason to take the item in private?

We are still negotiating various aspects internally, particularly with the political groups, so we want to keep the discussion confidential until that negotiation is completed. We hope to be in a position to make decisions at our next meeting.

Okay.

Do members agree to take item 3 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
