Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Sandra White)

Good morning, everyone. I welcome you all to the Social Security Committee’s second meeting in 2016. I remind everyone to turn off their mobile phones, as they interfere with the sound system. We have received no apologies and we are all here, which is great.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking item 4 in private. I will explain to new members why we take some items in private. Item 4 relates to the contents of research, candidates to do research and finances for research, and it is normal practice to discuss such items in private. With the committee’s indulgence, do we agree to take item 4 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
