Working Procedures

I now move that item 6, which is a review of working procedures, be taken in private.

I would like the reason why item 6 will be taken in private to be put on the record.

It is an attempt to consider the procedures and processes of the committee. We have been encouraged by the Parliamentary Bureau and the SPCB to deal with housekeeping matters outwith the public forum. This is an opportunity to review what we have done and are doing, and to plan for the future.

I fully accept that, but I think that it is important to give those reasons before we go into private.

Is it agreed that we take item 6 in private?

Members indicated agreement.

Meeting continued in private until 16:46.
