Item in Private

Good morning. I declare the second meeting of the Audit Committee in 2006 open and welcome members of the Parliament and representatives of Audit Scotland, including the Auditor General for Scotland. We also welcome our guest, Jean-Louis Beaud de Brive, the president of the chambre régionale des comptes de Midi-Pyrénées. I hope that he has a useful and pleasant stay. I also wish his national rugby team every success in its remaining fixtures; it could do us a number of favours.

I remind members to turn off their mobile phones and pagers. We have received apologies from Margaret Smith and Margaret Jamieson, who cannot make the meeting. The first item on the agenda is to seek the committee's agreement to take in private agenda item 5, which is consideration of the discussion under agenda item 4. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
