Decisions on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the 13th meeting in 2015 of the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee.

I welcome all our witnesses, who I will introduce in a moment. I also welcome to the public gallery the delegation from Poland who are visiting Scotland to find out more about our energy successes and challenges. Welcome to you all. I hope that you enjoy the proceedings and find them to be of interest.

I remind everyone to turn off or at least turn to silent all mobile phones and other electronic devices, so that they do not interfere with the broadcasting equipment.

Agenda item 1 is consideration of whether to take item 5 in private. Do members agree to do so?

Members indicated agreement.

I also ask whether members agree to take in private future reviews of evidence heard in connection with the security of supply inquiry. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

Item 2 is a decision on whether to take in private next week’s consideration of our draft annual report. Do members agree to take that item in private?

Members indicated agreement.
