Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener

Today’s main business is an evidence session on the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 but first, at item 2, we have consideration of whether to take item 5 in private. Item 5 is consideration of that evidence. As some members are meeting remotely, rather than asking whether everyone agrees, I will instead ask whether anyone objects. If there is silence, I will assume that you are content.

I will take that silence as consent. It is agreed that item 5 will be taken in private.
