Decisions on Taking Business in Private

Good afternoon and welcome to the 16th meeting of the Finance Committee in 2009, in the third session of the Scottish Parliament. I ask members to turn off any mobile phones and pagers, and I welcome Andy Kerr to the committee for today's public session.

Agenda item 1 is to decide whether to take in private item 3, which is a discussion on our approach to stage 1 scrutiny of the Public Services Reform (Scotland) Bill, and item 4, which is our review of the budget process. I propose that we do so. Does the committee agree?

Members indicated agreement.

I invite members to decide whether to consider our approach to scrutiny of the 2010-11 draft budget as part of our work programme in private at our next meeting. I propose that we do so. Do members agree?

Members indicated agreement.
