Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, and welcome to the public part of the 27th meeting in 2020 of the Social Security Committee. We have apologies from Alison Johnstone, who cannot be with us, and Mark Griffin, who cannot stay for this part of the meeting.

Before we move to item 2, I note that item 1—a briefing on Brexit and devolved social security—was considered in private. I thank Dr Simon Roberts, who took us through a presentation, which was most welcome.

Item 2 is consideration of whether to take further items in private. The committee is asked to agree that item 10, on work programme discussions, and item 11, which is consideration of an issues paper, are taken in private. I will assume that members agree, unless they indicate otherwise.

There have been no such indications, so that is agreed.
