Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning and welcome to the second meeting in 2021 of the Economy and Fair Work Committee. We have received apologies from Alexander Burnett.

I take this opportunity to congratulate former committee member Lorna Slater on her appointment as minister. I am sure that we will see her on the other side of the table at some point in the parliamentary session. I also welcome to the meeting Maggie Chapman MSP. Although not a full committee member, she is joining us for this morning’s evidence-taking session.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. Are members content to take items 4 and 5 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
