Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (James Dornan)

Good morning. I welcome everyone to the eighth meeting in 2018 of the Education and Skills Committee. I remind everyone to turn their mobile phones and other devices to silent for the duration of the meeting. We have received apologies for today’s meeting from Richard Lochhead, who is not here due to a family bereavement; Clare Adamson is attending the meeting in his place. Mary Fee has indicated that she will arrive late as she is attending the meeting of another committee that she sits on.

The first item of business is a decision on whether to take in private item 3, which is a review of today’s evidence. Are members content to take item 3 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
