Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning. Welcome to the committee’s 28th meeting of 2010. I remind everyone to switch off their mobile phones and BlackBerrys, as they impact on the broadcasting system. Once again, Sandra White will substitute for Aileen Campbell. Unfortunately, Liam McArthur is unable to get down from Orkney because of the weather conditions; he sends his apologies. We have also received apologies from Karen Gillon.

Does the committee agree to take in private item 3, which is consideration of the evidence that we will hear today on the Government’s draft land use strategy?

Members indicated agreement.
