Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Kenneth Gibson)

Good morning, and welcome to the ninth meeting in 2012 of the Finance Committee. I remind all those present to turn off any mobile phones, pagers and BlackBerrys.

Our colleague Michael McMahon has tendered his apologies this morning following the sad passing of his mother on Monday. The thoughts, condolences and sympathies of the committee are with him today.

Under agenda item 1, I seek the committee’s agreement to take item 7 in private. Are members content that we do so?

Members indicated agreement.
