Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning. I welcome everyone to the Justice Committee’s 12th meeting of this year, and I ask everyone to switch off mobile phones and other electronic devices completely as they interfere with the broadcasting system even when they are switched to silent. No apologies for absence have been received.

Item 1 on the agenda is a decision on taking business in private. The committee is invited to agree whether to take item 5 on the work programme in private today and whether to consider the main themes arising from evidence received on the Scottish Government’s draft budget 2012-13 and spending review 2011 and its subsequent draft report in private at future meetings. Do members agree?

Members indicated agreement.
