Good morning, and welcome to the first meeting in 2018 of the Social Security Committee. I remind everyone to turn off or silence mobile phones and other devices, as they may disrupt the broadcasting.
We have received apologies from our deputy convener, Pauline McNeill, and from Adam Tomkins. I welcome Gordon Lindhurst, who is a former member of the committee and who is attending as Adam’s substitute.
The first item on the agenda is a decision on whether to take items 4, 5 and 6 in private. Do members agree to take those items in private?
Members indicated agreement.
