Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Deputy Convener (Pauline McNeill)

Good morning. I welcome everyone to the fifth meeting in 2021 of the Social Security Committee. No apologies have been received.

My apologies for delay in starting the meeting. The technical hitch was that broadcasting was not aware that I will chair the meeting until the convener, Bob Doris, who is running late, is available.

Under agenda item 1, the committee is asked to agree to take item 3, which is consideration of today’s evidence, in private, and to agree to consider our draft legacy report and annual report in private at future meetings. I will assume that all members agree unless someone indicates otherwise in the chat box.

As no member has indicated otherwise, the committee agrees to take those items in private.
