Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, and welcome to the seventh meeting in 2012 of the Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment Committee. Members and the public should turn off mobile phones and BlackBerrys, as leaving them in flight mode or on silent will affect the broadcasting system. We have apologies from John Lamont, for whom Alex Fergusson is substituting—I welcome him—and from Dennis Robertson, who called off sick very recently. We wish them both well.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. I seek the committee’s agreement to take in private future consideration of the draft stage 1 report on the Long Leases (Scotland) Bill and future evidence that is heard on the common agricultural policy. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
