Decisions on Taking Business in Private

I welcome members to the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee’s 14th meeting in 2015. As usual, I remind everyone to switch off their mobile phones, because they might affect the broadcasting system.

We have received apologies from George Adam.

Under item 1, do members agree to take in private item 4, which is consideration of a report from the Commissioner for Ethical Standards in Public Life in Scotland on a complaint, and item 5, which is consideration of our approach to the next stage of our inquiry into committee reform?

Members indicated agreement.

Under item 2, do members agree to take in private at a future meeting consideration of the commissioner’s report and our draft report on the complaint, and to take in private at future meetings the committee’s consideration of consolidation bills?

Members indicated agreement.
