Item in Private
I welcome colleagues and members of the press and the public to this meeting of the Environment and Rural Development Committee. I remind everyone to switch off their mobile phones. I have received apologies from Karen Gillon, who will arrive late—the other members of the committee are here and no visiting members will attend the meeting, as far as I know.
Under agenda item 1, the committee will consider whether to take item 4 in private. That item is consideration of our approach to the Environmental Assessment (Scotland) Bill. We will discuss the witnesses from whom we might want to hear and members might want to have that discussion in private, to give them the space to say what they want to say. Do members agree to take item 4 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
