Item in Private

We are now meeting in public. I remind members to turn off their mobile phones and pagers. We have received no apologies. I welcome Fiona McLeod to the meeting. She is here for the evidence-taking session on the prison estates review. If Fiona indicates when she wants to ask a question, I will endeavour to let her in after committee members have asked their questions.

Agenda item 6 is consideration of candidates for the post of adviser on the financial aspects of the Scottish prison estates review. The discussion will reveal information about the individuals under consideration, so I do not think that it would be advisable to hold it in public. Are members agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
