Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Joan McAlpine)

Good morning and welcome to the ninth meeting in session 5 of the Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Relations Committee. I remind members of the public to turn off mobile phones, and members who use electronic devices to access committee papers during the meeting should ensure that they are turned to silent. No apologies have been received.

Our first item of business is a decision on whether to take item 4, which is consideration of a paper on the committee’s scrutiny of the draft budget 2017-18, in private. Do members agree to take that item in private?

Members indicated agreement.
