Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning and welcome to the 12th meeting in 2021 of the Local Government and Communities Committee. I ask members to ensure, please, that mobile phones are in silent mode. Broadcasting staff will operate your cameras and microphones as usual, so please allow a short pause before being called to speak, in order to allow them to do so. We have received apologies from Andy Wightman.

Agenda item 1 is consideration of whether to take in private items 5 and 6. Item 5 is consideration of the draft annual report for the parliamentary year from 12 May 2020 to 24 March 2021, and item 6 is consideration of a draft legacy paper.

As we are meeting remotely, rather than asking whether everyone agrees, I will instead ask whether anyone objects. If there is silence, I will assume that you are content. Does anyone object?

Silence it is, so that is agreed. Items 5 and 6 will be taken in private.
