Decisions on Taking Business in Private

Good morning. I welcome everyone to the eighth meeting in 2021 of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee. I ask members and witnesses who are on the BlueJeans platform to please type R in the chat function to request to speak.

Our first agenda item is a decision on whether to take item 4, which is a discussion of the evidence that we will hear this morning, in private. Do members agree to take that item in private?

Members indicated agreement.

Under agenda item 2, the committee is invited to agree to take in private at future meetings consideration of the evidence heard, and its draft report, on the Elections Bill. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
