Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Acting Convener (Anas Sarwar)

Good morning and welcome to the 23rd meeting in 2020 of the Public Audit and Post-legislative Scrutiny Committee. Before we begin, I remind members, witnesses and staff that social distancing measures are in place in committee rooms and across the Holyrood campus. In addition, a face covering must be worn when you are moving around, entering or exiting the committee room, although it can be removed once you are seated at the table in the committee room.

We have received apologies from Bill Bowman.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. Do any members object to the committee taking items 3 and 5 in private? If Neil Bibby, Colin Beattie or Willie Coffey, who are joining us remotely, object, please can they raise a hand?

As there is no indication of disagreement, that is agreed.
