Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (James Dornan)

Good morning. I welcome everyone to the 23rd meeting in 2020 of the Local Government and Communities Committee. I once again thank the broadcasting office for its work in helping to organise the meeting. I ask everyone to ensure that their mobile phones are in silent mode.

Agenda item 1 is consideration of whether to take in private agenda item 7, which is consideration of our work programme. As we are meeting virtually, rather than asking whether everyone agrees I will instead ask whether anyone objects. If there is silence, I will assume that members are content. Does anyone object? No. We are therefore agreed that item 7 will be taken in private.
