Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Stewart Maxwell)

I welcome everybody to the Education and Culture Committee’s 31st meeting in 2015. I remind all those present that all electronic devices should be switched off at all times. We have a full committee this morning, and I welcome Liz Smith, who has joined us again for stage 2 of the Education (Scotland) Bill.

Under our first item, do we agree to take item 5 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
