Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Bob Doris)

Good morning and welcome to the seventh meeting in 2019 of the Social Security Committee.

I remind everyone present to turn mobile phones and other devices off or to silent mode so that they do not disrupt the meeting. Apologies have been received from our deputy convener, Pauline McNeill, who cannot be with us. We hope to have the rest of the committee’s members here in short order.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on whether to take in private item 4, which is consideration of the draft person specification for appointment of members of the Poverty and Inequality Commission. Do members agree to take item 4 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
