Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Bob Doris)

Good morning. Welcome to the 16th meeting in session 5 of the Local Government and Communities Committee. I remind everyone present to turn off mobile phones. As meeting papers are provided in digital format, tablets may be used by members during the meeting. We have apologies from Graham Simpson who, unfortunately, cannot be with us.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on whether to take in private agenda item 4, which is consideration of the committee’s draft report on payments to returning officers. Do members agree to do that?

Members indicated agreement.
