Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Martin Whitfield)

Good morning, and welcome, everyone, to the first meeting in 2024 of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee. I have received apologies from Stephen Kerr MSP.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on whether to take items 3 and 4 in private. Item 3 is consideration of a complaint that has been made against the cross-party group on drug and alcohol misuse, and item 4 is consideration of the committee’s work programme.

Do members agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.

I am grateful to members for that.
