Good morning and welcome to the Welfare Reform Committee’s third meeting in 2015. I ask everyone to please make sure that their mobile phones and other electronic devices are silent or at least switched to airplane mode.
The first item of business is a decision on whether to take in private agenda item 3, which is consideration of the evidence that we are about to receive from the Rt Hon David Mundell MP. Do members agree to take item 3 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
