Items in Private

Okay, we should start the eighth meeting of the Audit Committee in the second session of the Parliament. I apologise for my late arrival, which I put down to traffic calming of the lift system—in other words, I could not get into the lift.

Was it full?

Yes, George Lyon was in the lift and he would not let me in.

I am not sure that that qualifies as full.

I will not invite Robin Harper to define what a full lift is. However, I am sure that the walk did me good.

I have received apologies from Susan Deacon, who has to leave early.

It is proposed that we take items 6, 7, 8 and 9 in private because we usually consider draft reports and our approaches to papers in private. Do members agree to do that?

Members indicated agreement.

Very good.
