Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, and welcome to the sixth meeting in 2024 of the Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee. I begin by thanking my deputy convener, David Torrance, for convening the previous meeting of the committee, which had quite a packed agenda of engagement and evidence taking. I am grateful to him.

Our first item is the customary one to agree on whether to take business in private. Under items 4 and 5, we will consider the evidence that we will hear this morning. Do colleagues agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.

We expect Fergus Ewing to join us shortly, so there is no apology there.
