Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Duncan McNeil)

Good morning and welcome to the fourth meeting in 2014 of the Health and Sport Committee. As usual at this point, I ask everyone in the room to switch off their mobile phones, BlackBerrys and other wireless devices. Some committee members will be using their tablet devices instead of hard copies of committee papers, so you may see us working away on those. I have received apologies from Dr Richard Simpson and Malcolm Chisholm joins us once again as the Labour substitute.

The first item on the agenda is a decision whether to take in private item 3, which is consideration of the candidates for the post of adviser to assist us with our scrutiny of the Assisted Suicide (Scotland) Bill. Does the committee agree to take that item in private?

Members indicated agreement.
