Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Deputy Convener (Bob Doris)

Good morning, and welcome to the 26th meeting in 2025 of the Social Justice and Social Security Committee. We have apologies from Collette Stevenson and Michael Marra. We are hoping that our colleague Jeremy Balfour will join us online shortly; he has not made it yet.

Our first item of business is a decision on taking business in private. Do members agree to take items 5 and 6 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
