Good morning and welcome to the 21st meeting in 2020 of the Social Security Committee. I hope that we will have a full house this morning; I have not received any apologies.
Under agenda item 1 the committee will decide whether to take in private agenda item 3, under which we will consider the evidence that we will hear under agenda item 2, which is on our new inquiry . Unless any member indicates otherwise in the chat box, I will assume that we agree to take agenda item 3 in private. No member has indicated that they disagree, so that is agreed.
We previously agreed that we would take agenda item 4, on pre-budget scrutiny, in private.
