Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning. Welcome to the 13th meeting this year of the Local Government and Regeneration Committee. As usual, I ask everyone to ensure that they have switched off any mobile phones or electronic devices.

Do members agree that we should take items 4 and 5 in private?

Members indicated agreement.

Are there any declarations of interests?

I declare an interest as a member of Aberdeen City Council.

I make a similar declaration as a member of Fife Council.

I declare an interest as a member of Fife Council.

I declare an interest as a member of Unite the union.

I declare an interest as a member of North Lanarkshire Council and a member of Unite the union.

I should declare another interest, as I am a member of Unison. I am sorry, but I did not think of that.

Thank you.
