Decisions on Taking Business in Private
Good morning, members and guests, and welcome to the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee’s 13th meeting in 2012. I remind members and others to turn off mobile phones and BlackBerrys.
Agenda item 1 is to decide whether to take in private items 5 to 7, which are, respectively, to consider the evidence heard on the review of the “Code of Practice for Ministerial Appointments to Public Bodies in Scotland”; to consider a draft report on, and draft standing order rule changes in relation to, orders under the Public Bodies Act 2011; and to consider a note by the clerk on the Interests of Members of the Scottish Parliament Act 2006. Does the committee agree to take those items in private?
Members indicated agreement.
Item 2 is for us to decide whether to take two items in private at future committee meetings. The first is consideration of a draft report on the consultation on the “Code of Practice for Ministerial Appointments to Public Bodies in Scotland” and the second is consideration of issues papers on the Interests of Members of the Scottish Parliament Act 2006. Do members agree to take those items in private in the future?
Members indicated agreement.
