Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I open the meeting by reminding everyone to switch off mobile phones. I have received no apologies for the simple reason that, as ever, we have a full turnout.

The first item is to seek the committee's agreement on whether to take in private item 7, when we will consider whether to accept into evidence the submissions that have been received in response to the call for evidence on the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Bill, and whether to take in private any future consideration of written and oral evidence that we receive. Are members agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
