Item in Private
I welcome members, the public and the press to the committee's 20th meeting in 2005. I remind people to turn off the sound on their mobile phones. Karen Gillon has sent her apologies.
The first agenda item is to seek the committee's agreement on whether to discuss in private witnesses for stage 1 of the Environmental Levy on Plastic Bags (Scotland) Bill. Do we agree to discuss item 5 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
