Item in Private
If colleagues are ready, let us get on. I have received apologies from Nora Radcliffe, but not from other committee members. I knew that Karen Gillon was going to be absent for part of the meeting, but I thought that she was going to be here at the start. I log her apologies for part of the meeting. I remind everyone to turn off their mobile phones.
I recommend to members that we take in private item 4, which is consideration of a paper on the Nature Conservation (Scotland) Bill. We need to make decisions about the structure of our inquiries and who to invite to the committee as witnesses. We do not usually deal with such issues in public. Is that agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
