Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Bob Doris)

Good morning and welcome to the 19th meeting in 2020 of the Social Security Committee. I have one apology: unfortunately, our colleague Mark Griffin is unable to be with us this morning.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. The committee is asked to agree that item 3, on consideration of the evidence heard today and, in due course, a draft letter, and item 4, on committee working practices, be taken in private. Given the complexities of our online meeting, unless anyone indicates otherwise in the chat box, I will assume that that is agreed. Okay—that is agreed. Thank you.
