Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning and welcome to the 15th meeting of the Local Government and Regeneration Committee. As usual, I ask everyone to check that they have switched off their mobile phones. I had better check that I have switched mine off—I have.

We have apologies from Kez Dugdale, for whom Richard Simpson is substituting. Richard, do you have any interests to declare?

Nothing specific in my declaration of interests would apply to this committee.

Do any other members want to declare interests?

I will declare the usual interest: I am a member of Aberdeen City Council.

I should do the same: I am a member of Fife Council.

I am a member of Fife Council as well.

I am a member of North Lanarkshire Council.

Okay. Thanks very much.

Our first item of business is to decide whether to take in private items 5, 6 and 7. I propose that we do so. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
