Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Clare Adamson)

Good morning. I welcome members to the fifth meeting in session 5 of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee. I remind everyone to switch off mobile phones. Other devices should be kept on silent.

We have received apologies from Mr Arthur, who is delayed but expects to be in attendance at some point.

Our first item is a decision on whether consideration of draft standing order rule changes, a draft report on First Minister’s questions and the committee’s work programme should be taken in private at future meetings. Do members agree?

Members indicated agreement.
