Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (John Finnie)

Feasgar math, a h-uile duine, agus fĂ ilte. Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to the 11th meeting in 2019 of the Justice Sub-Committee on Policing. We have not received any apologies.

Before we start, I would like to make some brief comments about the resignation of Susan Deacon as chair of the Scottish Police Authority. I am sure that all members will want to thank her for her service and wish her well in future endeavours. We note her comments on the governance and scrutiny of policing, which will be issues for the Justice Committee and the Justice Sub-Committee on Policing. I am sure that we will return to those issues in the new year and consider what further work, if any, is required.

Under agenda item 1, the committee is invited to decide whether to take in private items 4 and 5, which are consideration of evidence that we will hear under item 2 and consideration of our work programme. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
