Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Karen Adam)

Good morning, and welcome to the ninth meeting in 2025 of the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee, in session 6.

Before we begin, I would like to take a moment to pay tribute to Christina McKelvie MSP, who sadly passed away last week. As a previous convener of this committee and as an equalities minister, she was a fierce advocate for social justice and for human rights. She will be very sadly missed, but her legacy will go on, and we will always remember her, particularly through her work.

We have received no apologies today. Marie McNair will join us online.

Our first agenda item is a decision on taking business in private. Do members agree to take items 3 to 6 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
