Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning and welcome to the first meeting of the Public Audit Committee in 2009. I ask everyone to ensure that mobile phones and other electronic devices are switched off. I welcome to the meeting members of the public and Audit Scotland staff. I welcome, too, the first panel of witnesses for the meeting: Dr Malcolm Reed is accompanied by Steven McMahon, Bill Reeve and Gary Bogan. Thank you for coming along.

The main agenda item is a report on the First ScotRail passenger rail franchise. However, can we first agree to take in private agenda items 3, 4 and 5?

Members indicated agreement.
