Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Iain Smith)

Welcome to the 34th meeting in 2010 of the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee. I apologise to everyone for the late start, which happened for very understandable reasons given the current weather.

We have received apologies from Marilyn Livingstone and Chris Harvie. Nigel Don is here as a substitute for Chris Harvie; I welcome him back to the committee. We have not yet heard from Wendy Alexander. We believe that she is on her way but stuck somewhere between Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Agenda item 1 is to consider taking in private item 4, which is consideration of our draft report on the budget. Do members agree to take that item in private?

Members indicated agreement.
