Decisions on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, and welcome to the 31st meeting of the Local Government and Communities Committee in 2009. As I usually do at this time, I remind members and the public to turn off all mobile phones and BlackBerrys. I welcome Christine Grahame MSP, who joins the committee for this evidence session.

Agenda item 1 is to decide whether to take in private item 5 and future consideration of our draft report on local government finance. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

Item 2 is to decide whether consideration of our draft report on the Home Owner and Debtor Protection (Scotland) Bill and consideration of our work programme should be taken in private at future meetings. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
