Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Christine Grahame)

Good morning and welcome to the Justice Committee’s first meeting in 2013. I wish you all a happy new year with a collective hug and kiss. You should not look so unhappy about that, Mr Finnie.

I ask everyone to completely switch off mobile phones and other electronic devices as they interfere with the broadcasting system even when switched to silent. We have received no apologies—the team is complete.

Item 1 is to consider whether to take in private items 6 to 9. Are members agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
