Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning. I welcome everyone to the 25th meeting in 2012 of the Justice Committee. I ask everyone to switch off mobile phones and other electronic devices completely as they interfere with the broadcasting system even when switched to silent.

With Humza Yousaf taking up ministerial office, I welcome Gordon MacDonald, who is appearing as his substitute. I am sure that we want to congratulate Humza. I will miss his charm or perhaps it is his youthful cheek—I think that the jury is out on that—but I wish him well, as I am sure the committee does, in his latest escapade.

Item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. Do members agree to consider in private item 3, which is the committee’s work programme?

Members indicated agreement.

We are agreed? Crumbs.
