Item in Private

Comrades, we are two minutes late so I will start the meeting. I welcome back all members after the Christmas break to our last parliamentary term before the election. The term is a long one—it is four months long. Richard Simpson has just looked at me as if to say that that is a very long time—it is.

I ask the committee whether it agrees to take item 4 in private to allow us to consider an approach paper for the Prostitution Tolerance Zones (Scotland) Bill and discuss potential witnesses. It is normal practice to take such items in private. Are members agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
