Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Kaukab Stewart)

Good morning, and welcome to the 10th meeting in 2023 of the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee in session 6. We have no apologies this morning.

A new member is joining our committee today. I warmly welcome Paul O’Kane, who is replacing Pam Duncan-Glancy as our Labour member. I thank Pam for her valuable contribution to the committee’s work during this parliamentary session, and I am sure that all members will join me in wishing her all the best in her new role.

Our first agenda item is to decide whether to take in private agenda item 3, under which the committee will consider the evidence that it will hear today. Do members agree to take agenda item 3 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
