Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning. I welcome members to the sixth meeting of the Education and Culture Committee in 2013. I remind members and people in the gallery to ensure that all electronic devices are switched off at all times, particularly mobile phones because they interfere with the sound system and that is not helpful.

We are hoping that Liam McArthur will be able to join us, but due to technical difficulties with his aircraft from Orkney he may not make it this morning. He may be able to join us later on, but I give his apologies now just in case.

The first agenda item is a decision on whether to take agenda items 3 and 4 in private. Do members agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
