Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning and welcome to the 24th meeting in 2020 of the Local Government and Communities Committee. Once again, I thank the broadcasting office for its work in helping to organise the meeting. I ask everyone to ensure that mobile phones are on silent.

At agenda item 1, we consider whether to take items 5 and 6 in private. Item 5 is consideration of the evidence that we will hear today and item 6 is consideration of our work programme. Rather than asking whether everyone agrees, I ask instead whether anyone objects. If there is silence, I will assume that members are content.

As no one has objected, we are agreed that items 5 and 6 will be taken in private.
