Decision on Taking Business in Private
Good morning. I welcome everyone to the Justice Committee’s 13th meeting in 2013. I ask everyone to switch off mobile phones and other electronic devices completely, as they interfere with the broadcasting system even when switched to silent. We have received apologies from David McLetchie, for whom John Lamont is attending as a substitute.
Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. I invite members to agree to take in private item 3, which is consideration of a Public Bodies Act consent memorandum in respect of the Public Bodies (Abolition of the Administrative Justice and Tribunals Council) Order 2013. I propose that we take the item in private because the paper includes a draft report and to allow officials to give us some understanding of the process. Do we agree to take item 3 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
