Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the fourth meeting in this session of the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee. This is our first formal meeting after the recess and I welcome back all members. I welcome in particular Jim Eadie MSP, who is substituting today for Angus MacDonald.

There are six items on the agenda today. Item 1 is a decision on whether take item 6 in private. Item 6 is related to draft budget scrutiny—we will discuss potential candidates to be our budget adviser. On the basis that we will discuss individuals and whom we are going to select, the standard proposal is that we take the item in private. Are all committee members agreed with that?

Members indicated agreement.
