Items in Private

I call this meeting of the Education, Culture and Sport Committee to order as we are in public session. I remind everyone to ensure that their mobile telephones and pagers are turned off. We have received apologies from Cathy Peattie and I know that Brian Monteith is going to be late.

Item 1 is to ask members to agree to discuss in private items 7 and 8. Item 7 is consideration of the draft report to the Finance Committee on the budget process for 2003-04 and item 8 is consideration of the draft stage 1 report on the Protection of Children (Scotland) Bill. Are members content to discuss both items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
