Decision on Taking Business in Private

I call the 17th meeting in 2006 of the Scottish Parliament's Audit Committee to order. We have had apologies from Susan Deacon, who will be late because she is attending to some constituency business. I ask members to switch off their mobile phones and pagers, and I welcome the Auditor General for Scotland, his team from Audit Scotland and members of the public and the press.

Agenda item 1 is to ask the committee to agree to take in private items 6 and 7, if it is so minded. Under item 6, the committee will consider arrangements for its inquiry into the Auditor General's report "Relocation of Scottish Executive departments, agencies and NDPBs", and under item 7 it will consider its approaches to reports on which we will have received briefings earlier in the meeting. Do members agree to take in private items 6 and 7?

Members indicated agreement.
