Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Stewart Maxwell)

Good morning and welcome to the eighth meeting in 2011 of the Education and Culture Committee in session 4. I remind members to switch off mobile phones and any other electronic devices. We have received no apologies, but Joan McAlpine has been slightly delayed. We hope to see her shortly.

The first item on the agenda is to decide whether to take in private items 3 and 4 and to consider whether our draft report on the draft budget should be considered in private at future meetings. Do members agree that those items should be considered in private?

Members indicated agreement.
