Good morning and welcome to the Finance Committee’s 30th meeting in 2013. I remind all those present—that includes Malcolm Chisholm—to turn off mobile phones and electronic devices, such as tablets.
We have four items on the agenda. Item 1 is a decision on whether to take items 3 and 4 in private and whether to consider in private at future meetings our draft report on the draft budget for 2014-15 and a list of candidates for the post of adviser to the committee. Do members agree to take those items in private?
Members indicated agreement.
