Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, and welcome to the fourth meeting of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee in session 7. Our first agenda item is a decision on whether to take in private item 7, which is consideration of the evidence that we will hear this morning on the Scottish Local Government Elections (Candidacy Rights of Commonwealth Citizens) Bill and on the legislative consent memorandum on the Representation of the People Bill. Do we agree to take item 7 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
