Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Stewart Maxwell)

Good morning. I welcome everybody to the 11th meeting of the Education and Culture Committee in session 4. I remind members that all mobile phones and electronic devices should be switched off at all times because they interfere with the sound system. We have received apologies from Clare Adamson, who is unable to be here. I expect George Adam, the committee substitute, to be here shortly.

The first item of business is consideration of whether to take item 3 in private. Item 3 is consideration of our approach to scrutiny of the National Library of Scotland Bill. Are members content to take that item in private?

Members indicated agreement.

Item 4 will also be taken in private, as agreed at a previous meeting.
