Good morning and welcome to the first meeting in 2014 of the Finance Committee of the Scottish Parliament. I wish everyone a happy new year. I remind everyone present to turn off mobile phones, tablets and other electronic devices, please.
We have received apologies from Jamie Hepburn, who is unwell. He has been replaced by Dave Thompson, whom I welcome back to the committee.
The first item on our agenda is to decide whether to consider in private at future meetings the draft report on our inquiry into proposals for an independent fiscal body. Do members agree to do so?
Members indicated agreement.
