Decision on Taking Business in Private

I welcome you all to the fourth meeting in 2012 of the European and External Relations Committee. If you have any mobile phones or electronic devices with you, please ensure that they are switched off.

We have received apologies from Annabelle Ewing, who could not make it along this morning. Her substitute, Colin Keir, is here and I welcome him to the committee. We have also received apologies from Helen Eadie, who is unwell and is unable to join us. Jamie McGrigor is on his way and should be here as soon as he gets through the traffic.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on whether to take item 3 in private. It is normal procedure for us to consider the evidence that we have received in private. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
