Items in Private
Good morning and welcome to the Audit Committee's ninth meeting this session. I welcome the Auditor General for Scotland and his team from Audit Scotland and members of the public and the press who have now joined us for the public part of the meeting. Anyone who has a mobile phone or pager should ensure that it is turned off.
Agenda item 2 is to consider whether to take agenda items 7, 8 and 9 in private. Agenda item 7 is consideration of the third draft of the committee's report on its inquiry into the Auditor General for Scotland's report entitled "Individual Learning Accounts in Scotland"; agenda item 8 is consideration of the committee's approach to the Auditor General's report entitled "Scottish Enterprise: special audit examination" and agenda item 9 is consideration of our approach to the Auditor General's report entitled "Financial performance of the further education sector in Scotland: An update report". If the committee thinks that there is enough information to consider whether to hold an inquiry when it discusses agenda item 3 on Scottish Enterprise, it can consider the matter at that point. Alternatively, we can reach a decision at the appropriate time under item 8, when we could discuss the issue more fully.
Do members agree to discuss items 7, 8 and 9 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
