[The Convener opened the meeting at 14:01]
I open the meeting, ladies and gentlemen. We will pass over item 1 on the agenda—declaration of interests—as Paul Martin is not here. Item 2 is brief and will be taken in private. I apologise to members of the public and press who are present, but I must ask them to leave for just a few minutes. We will welcome them back as soon as we can.
Meeting continued in private.
Meeting resumed in public.
Item 3 on the agenda is to ask the committee to take item 8 in private. Do members agree to do so?
