Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, and welcome to the 17th meeting in 2022 of the Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee. I am delighted that we have our deputy convener, David Torrance, back with us this morning. He has been absent for a few meetings.

We have a busy meeting this morning, including three evidence sessions on three important issues. Later, we will be joined by a golden eagle who is coming along, not to give evidence but to evidence one of the petitions that we will be discussing.

Agenda item 1 is for me to confirm with colleagues that we will take items 4, 5 and 6 in private. Do we agree to do so?

Members indicated agreement.
