Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Finlay Carson)

Good morning, and welcome to the 21st meeting in 2024 of the award-winning Rural Affairs and Islands Committee. Before we begin, I ask everyone to ensure that their electronic devices are switched to silent. This morning, we have apologies from Elena Whitham, and we welcome back to the committee Karen Adam as a substitute.

Our first item of business is to consider whether to take item 3 in private. Are we agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
