[The Convener opened the meeting at 09:35]
Welcome to the ninth meeting this year of the Standards Committee. I particularly welcome Dr Sam Jones, who will be our new clerk team leader. She has come to us from the Northern Ireland Office and will sit in on today's meeting to get an idea of what she has let herself in for. I suggest that we deal with agenda item 5, the consideration of a report on the register of interests of members' staff, in private, as it is a draft report. Are we agreed to do that?
