Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Murdo Fraser)

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the third meeting in 2014 of the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee. I remind all members to turn off or at least switch to silent all mobile phones and other electronic devices so that they do not interfere with the committee’s work.

We have apologies this morning from three members—Dennis Robertson, Marco Biagi and Margaret McDougall—and we are joined by two substitutes, Jenny Marra and Joan McAlpine, whom I welcome. We will be joined for the third panel by John Pentland as an additional member.

Is the committee content to take in private later item 3, which is consideration of the evidence that we will hear this morning?

Members indicated agreement.
