Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Christina McKelvie)

Good morning and welcome to the fifth meeting in 2014 of the European and External Relations Committee. I make the usual request for mobile phones and electronic devices to be switched off.

I welcome Dr Daniel Kenealy, who is the committee’s adviser for our inquiry into the aspects of the Scottish Government’s white paper “Scotland’s Future: Your Guide to an Independent Scotland” that relate to the European Union. Our colleague Hanzala Malik has tendered his apologies for not attending today’s meeting.

Item 1 is a decision on whether to take item 5, which is correspondence on the inquiry, in private. Do members agree to take item 5 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
