Items in Private
Welcome to the final meeting of the Local Government Committee before the recess. I hope that the meeting will be short.
I would like members to agree to take items 3, 4 and 5 in private. The reasons are self-explanatory. Item 3 involves discussions of the merits of proposed witnesses, including representatives of councils. Proposals under item 4 will need to be ratified with the convener and staff of the Health and Community Care Committee. Under that item, we will also need to discuss the relative merits of witnesses, which we should not do in public. Item 5 concerns the committee's draft work plan, which contains information on legislative proposals and other matters that are not yet in the public domain.
Like some committee members, I am not too happy at taking items in private. However, I propose that we accept the clerk's recommendations and do so in this instance. Do members agree to take items 3, 4 and 5 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
