Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning and welcome to the 28th meeting in 2013 of the Justice Committee. I ask everyone to switch off mobile phones and other electronic devices completely as they interfere with the broadcasting system even when switched to silent. Apologies have been received from John Pentland and Alison McInnes. I welcome back Graeme Pearson—he has missed us so much—as John’s substitute.

Under agenda item 1, I invite members to agree to take in private item 3, which is a review of evidence gathered so far on part 1 and section 87, which is in part 6, of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Bill, and item 4, which is consideration of the Scottish Government’s response to our inquiry report on the effectiveness of the provisions in the Title Conditions (Scotland) Act 2003. Do members agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
