Items in Private
I welcome committee members, representatives of Audit Scotland and the Auditor General for Scotland, as well as our visitors from the Wales Audit Office, Gillian Body and Paul Dimblebee. Gillian is the assistant auditor general for Wales and Paul is the studies director.
I make the usual announcement about pagers and mobile phones being switched off. We have received apologies from Andrew Welsh and Susan Deacon, who cannot attend today's meeting, but we are still quorate; three is the requirement, so we are more than quorate.
Under item 1, I seek the committee's agreement to take in private agenda items 5, 6 and 7. Item 5 is consideration of arrangements for oral evidence as part of our consideration of the report "Overview of the water industry in Scotland". Under item 6, the committee will consider its approach to reports by the Auditor General for Scotland, including two section 22 reports and the report entitled "Overview of the performance of the NHS in Scotland 2004/05". Under item 7, the committee will consider reports in the "How Government Works" series. Do members agree to take those items in private?
Members indicated agreement.
