Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning. I welcome everyone back after summer recess to the 20th meeting in 2017 of the Local Government and Communities Committee. I hope that everyone had a good break.

I remind everyone present to turn off mobile phones. As meeting papers are provided in digital format, tablets may be used by members during the meeting.

No apologies have been received: we have a full house for the first day back.

Agenda item 1 is to decide whether to take in private items 4, 5 and 6. Item 4 is consideration of a draft interim report on building regulations in Scotland, item 5 is consideration of a draft report on the committee’s post-legislative scrutiny of the High Hedges (Scotland) Act 2013, and item 6 is consideration of a draft report on the committee’s post-legislative scrutiny of the Disabled Persons’ Parking Places (Scotland) Act 2009. Does the committee agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
