Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, and welcome to the Health and Sport Committee’s 18th meeting in the fourth session of the Scottish Parliament. I remind all present that mobile phones and BlackBerrys should be turned off as they can interfere with the sound system.

I have apologies from Bob Doris. We welcome, once again, Dennis Robertson—he is always welcome—who is attending as a substitute.

Agenda item 1 is to decide whether to take in private items 6 and 7. Item 6 is consideration of the committee’s approach to the scrutiny of the Alcohol (Minimum Pricing) (Scotland) Bill at stage 1, and item 7 is consideration of the committee’s work programme. Do I have members’ agreement to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
