Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning and welcome to the seventh meeting of the Health and Sport Committee in 2012. I remind everyone present to turn off mobile phones and BlackBerrys as they can interfere with the sound system. We have received apologies from Fiona McLeod; our friend Dennis Robertson is attending as her substitute. We wish Fiona a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing her soon.

The first agenda item is a decision to take in private item 4, which is consideration of a draft report on the Alcohol (Minimum Pricing) (Scotland) Bill, and to take consideration of that draft report in private at future meetings. I also invite the committee to agree to consider the approach to the forthcoming social care (self-directed support) (Scotland) bill in private at future meetings. Do members agree?

Members indicated agreement.
