Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Rob Gibson)

Welcome to the sixth meeting in 2013 of the Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment Committee. Committee members and members of the public should turn off mobile phones and BlackBerrys, as leaving them in flight mode or on silent will affect the broadcasting system and we want to be heard and seen.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. The committee is asked to decide whether its consideration of its letter to the Scottish Government on biodiversity should be taken in private at future meetings. Are we agreed that that should be taken in private?

Members indicated agreement.
