Decision on Taking Business in Private

Does the committee agree to take items 4, 5 and 6 in private?

I suggest that we consider taking in public item 6, which relates to the committee’s follow-up letter on “The Gathering 2009”. I request that we do so because, in my view, the letter that it is proposed that we send bears no relation to the discussion that the committee held at the time. Given the comments that you have just made about the scrutiny to which the Public Audit Committee subjects public bodies in Scotland, it is important that we offer the public an opportunity to see how we scrutinise ourselves on the matter.

I do not have a problem with the suggestion.

I am relaxed about it.

Does the committee agree to take items 4 and 5 in private and item 6 in public?

Members indicated agreement.
