Decisions on Taking Business in Private
I welcome members to the second meeting in 2014 of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee, and I remind members, panel members and members of the public to turn off mobile phones.
The Parliament’s photographer may take shots of the committee during the inquiry process. If anyone present has any concerns about that, they should let our officials know.
We have received apologies from the deputy convener, Margaret McDougall, so I am sitting in solitary splendour at the top of the table.
Agenda item 1 is to decide whether to take in private item 4, which is on the provision of services to cross-party groups. Does the committee agree to take that item in private?
Members indicated agreement.
Agenda item 2 is to decide whether the committee’s consideration of its inquiry into European Union rules and the draft report on EU rules should be taken in private at future meetings. Does the committee agree to that approach?
Members indicated agreement.
