Decision on Taking Business in Private
Good morning, everyone; welcome to the 16th meeting in 2010 of the Equal Opportunities Committee. I remind all present, including members, that mobile phones and BlackBerrys should be switched off completely, as they interfere with the sound system even when they are switched to silent.
The first item on the agenda is a decision on whether to take item 4 in private. Item 4 is consideration of an approach paper to the proposed forced marriage etc (protection and jurisdiction) (Scotland) bill. We expect the bill to be introduced tomorrow and that the committee will be designated the lead committee for it. Do members agree to take that item in private?
Members indicated agreement.
