Good morning. I welcome everyone to the 30th meeting in 2020 of the Local Government and Communities Committee. Please ensure all mobile phones are on silent. I remind members and witnesses that broadcasting will operate your camera and microphone as usual. Please allow a short pause before being called on to speak to allow them to do so.
I have received apologies from Gail Ross and I welcome Gordon MacDonald as a substitute to the committee. I invite Gordon MacDonald to declare any relevant interests.
Thank you, convener. I have no relevant interests to report.
Today’s main business is oral evidence from the Scottish Housing Regulator. First, at item 1, the committee is to decide whether to take item 3, consideration of that evidence, in private. As we are meeting remotely, rather than asking whether everyone agrees, I will instead ask if anyone objects. If there is silence I will assume you are content.
Does anyone object? I hear no objections. That is agreed. Item 3 will be taken in private.
