Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Rob Gibson)

Good morning and welcome to the 36th meeting of the Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment Committee this year. Remember to switch off your mobile phones and so on, as they affect the broadcasting system.

We have received apologies from Alex Fergusson and we expect two other members—Cara Hilton and Claudia Beamish—to arrive late. They have given us good reason for it.

The first agenda item is a decision on taking business in private. The committee is invited to decide whether to take the following two items in private at our next meeting: consideration of our response to the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee’s review of European Union rules; and consideration of our future work programme. Are we agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
