Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Rob Gibson)

Welcome to the first meeting in 2016 of the Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment Committee. I wish everyone a happy new year. I remind everyone to switch off their mobile phones, or at least to put them in silent mode. Committee members use tablets to read their papers, which are provided in digital format.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on whether to take in private items 4 and 5. Item 4 is consideration of the evidence that we will hear on “Wildlife Crime in Scotland 2014: Annual Report”, and item 5 is consideration of our draft report to the Finance Committee on the Scottish Government’s draft budget for 2016-17. Do we agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
