Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener

I return to item 1. As members will recall, Elaine Murray raised an issue with going into private. I suggest that the committee agree to take items 6 to 10 in private today but consider its future approach to items in private as part of the discussion on the work programme, which we will have later this afternoon. Does everyone agree with that?

Members indicated agreement.

The Convener

Thank you very much.

Members may have noticed that our clerical staff have been dropping like flies over the past hour. Therefore, I close the public part of the meeting and suspend the meeting until 12.30 so that everyone who needs a natural break can have one.

12:22 Meeting suspended until 12:29 and continued in private thereafter until 12:48.
