Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I warmly welcome everyone to the Public Petitions Committee and ask all those present to switch off their mobile phones and other electronic devices. I also warmly welcome to the meeting the right hon Greg Knight MP, chair of the House of Commons Procedure Committee, and all the members and staff of that committee.

Item 1 is a decision to take business in private. I seek the committee’s agreement to take in private item 5, which is consideration of the evidence that we will hear during item 2. Are members agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
