The next item is the budget process. On 16 January, the committee agreed to appoint an adviser to assist us with the budget process. I now ask the committee to approve or amend the terms of reference for the adviser that are in the paper before us. Once we have approved the paper, it will be submitted to the Parliamentary Bureau for approval and after that the clerks and the Scottish Parliament information centre will produce a list of candidates for us to consider. Does anyone have any comment to make on the paper, my copy of which I appear to have lost?
I wonder how many people will be able to meet all the criteria in the paper.
I am sure that SPICe staff already have some people up their sleeves whom they will be delighted to recommend to us.
Our next item of business will be conducted in private.
Meeting continued in private until 12:25.
