Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the third meeting in 2013 of the Welfare Reform Committee. I remind everyone to switch off mobile phones and other electronic devices to ensure that we are not disturbed.

Before we hear from our witnesses, agenda item 1 is a decision on whether to take in private item 3, which is to discuss our approach to the scrutiny of the regulations on passported benefits arising from the Welfare Reform (Further Provision) (Scotland) Act 2012. Do members agree to take that item in private?

Members indicated agreement.
