Decision on Taking Business in Private
I welcome members to the 12th meeting in 2009 of the Subordinate Legislation Committee. We have received no apologies. I ask members to turn off any mobile phones and BlackBerrys.
Agenda item 1 is to decide whether to take in private item 5, which concerns hybrid bills. Under item 5, we will discuss proposed changes to standing orders in order to inform the work of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee. In advance of a report on the matter from that committee, it is probably best to consider the item in private. Is that agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
