Decision on Taking Business in Private
Welcome to the 16th meeting this year of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee. As usual, I remind members and everyone else to switch off their mobile phones and BlackBerrys. We have received an apology from Dave Thompson.
I seek the committee's approval to take in private item 3, which is consideration of the committee's draft report on a complaint. The draft report might not reflect the committee's final view, so I propose that we consider it in private. Do members agree to do that?
Members indicated agreement.
