Decision on Taking Business in Private

Meeting date: 6 May 2025

Karen Adam

Good morning, and welcome to the 11th meeting in 2025 of the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee. We have received apologies from Maggie Chapman, and Marie McNair will join us remotely.

Our first agenda item is a decision on whether to take in private agenda items 3, 4 and 5. Item 3 is consideration of the evidence on the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Item 4 is consideration of the committee’s approach to scrutiny of the legislative consent memorandum for the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill. Item 5 is consideration of the committee’s approach to the Scottish Human Rights Commission’s report on progress in moving people from institutions to independent living, following the committee’s evidence session on 1 April. Do we agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.

Lorne Berkley’s microphone is working now. Lorne, it would be really helpful if you could keep your mic unmuted for the remainder of the session, but be aware that you will be live.
