Decisions on Taking Business in Private

Good morning and welcome to the 32nd meeting in 2014 of the Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment Committee.

Before we move to the first item on the agenda, I remind everyone to switch off mobile phones because they could affect the broadcasting system. However, we provide meeting papers in digital format, so people might notice some committee members consulting tablets during the meeting.

Under agenda item 1, the committee must decide whether to consider items in private. Do we agree to take agenda item 4, which is consideration of the evidence on the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Bill, in private?

Members indicated agreement.

Do we also agree to consider the committee’s report on part 4 of the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Bill in private at future meetings?

Members indicated agreement.
