Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Murdo Fraser)

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the 21st meeting in 2014 of the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee. I welcome our witnesses, whom I will introduce in a moment, and any visitors in the public gallery. I remind everyone to please turn off—or at least turn to silent—all mobile phones and other electronic devices so that they do not interfere with the sound equipment.

We have received apologies from Richard Baker, and Jenny Marra joins us as a substitute. You are welcome, Jenny.

Under item 1 on the agenda, I ask the committee to agree to take in private consideration of item 3, which is to review the evidence that we are about to hear. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
