Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Sandra White)

Good morning, everyone—we have lift off. Welcome to the fourth meeting of the Social Security Committee. I remind everyone to turn their mobile phones off or to silent mode, as they interfere with the sound system. I also ask those who speak into the microphones to stay about a foot away from them. At our previous meeting, the sound was much better in that respect.

No apologies have been received.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking items 3 and 4 in private. Item 3 will allow us to reflect on the evidence that was taken at last week’s meeting and today’s meeting, and item 4 will enable us to discuss our work programme and our priorities. We should also agree to review in private evidence taken at future round-table sessions. Does the committee agree to that?

Members indicated agreement.
