Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Christine Grahame)

I welcome everyone to the 35th meeting in 2012 of the Justice Committee and ask all present to completely switch off mobile phones and other electronic devices as they interfere with the broadcasting system, even when they are switched to silent.

The committee looks somewhat depleted this morning. We have received apologies from John Finnie and Rod Campbell, and Jenny Marra is running late. The witnesses should not take it personally—it is not because members heard that you were coming.

We are going for quality.

Well, I will move out of my chair, Graeme, and let you in.

Item 1 is a decision whether to take in private item 4, which is consideration of our work programme. Are members agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
