Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, and apologies for the late start to the meeting. This is the first meeting in 2007 of the Equal Opportunities Committee. I remind all those present, including members, that mobile phones and BlackBerrys should be turned off completely because they interfere with the sound system, even when they are switched to silent. I have received apologies from John Swinburne and Marilyn Livingstone. Sandra White will join us shortly.

Under agenda item 1, we must decide whether to take in private item 4, which is consideration of an approach paper on the Prostitution (Public Places) (Scotland) Bill, and to take the item in private at our next meeting. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
