Decisions on Taking Business in Private

Good morning. I welcome everyone to the 25th meeting of the Education, Lifelong Learning and Culture Committee in 2008. I remind those present that mobile phones and BlackBerrys should be switched off for the duration of the meeting.

The first agenda item is a decision on whether to consider in private item 5, which is about witnesses who should give evidence on the statutory instrument on school meals. Is the committee content to take item 5 in private?

Members indicated agreement.

The second item is also a decision on taking business in private, and relates to consideration of our draft budget report to the Finance Committee. Is the committee content to take that in private, too?

Members indicated agreement.
