Decisions on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Margaret Mitchell):

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the sixth meeting in 2008 of the Equal Opportunities Committee. We have received apologies from Michael McMahon and Sandra White. I remind all those present, including members, that mobile phones and BlackBerrys should be switched off as they interfere with the sound system even when they are switched to silent.

Under agenda item 1, we must decide whether to consider in private at our next meeting the evidence that we have taken on age, carers and female offenders in the criminal justice system. Are we agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

Thank you. Under agenda item 2, we must decide whether to consider our draft annual report in private at our next meeting. Are we agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

Thank you.
