Good morning, and welcome to the first meeting of the Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee in 2026. Our first item of business is a decision on taking items 2 and 4 in private. Item 2 is consideration of a draft report on the legislative consent memorandum for the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdictions Bill. Item 4 is consideration of the evidence on the draft climate change plan that we will hear today, as well as the evidence that we heard at our previous meeting, when we ran out of time. Do members agree to take those items in private?
Members indicated agreement.
It looks like our only items of business next week will be consideration of two draft reports. For the convenience of the official report and the broadcasting unit, I ask now whether we agree to take those items in private next week and, if necessary, in future meetings, every time they come up. One of those items is the Ecocide (Scotland) Bill. Monica Lennon is the member in charge of that bill, and on a precautionary reading of the standing orders, I ask Monica to recuse herself from the decision on that.
Do members agree to take the draft report on the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Bill LCM and any supplementary LCMs in private?
Members indicated agreement.
Do members agree to consider a draft stage 1 report on the Ecocide (Scotland) Bill in private? Monica Lennon is recusing herself from the decision.
Members indicated agreement.
We are happy. We will move into private until around 9 am.
