Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Sandra White)

Welcome to the Social Security Committee’s 19th meeting in 2017. I remind everyone to turn off their mobile phones, as they interfere with the sound system. I welcome our witnesses and thank them for coming—I know that you had an early start to travel here.

We come to agenda item 1. Is the committee content to take in private agenda item 4, which is on increased time to consider the Social Security (Scotland) Bill?

Members indicated agreement.
