Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, and welcome to the 21st meeting of the Public Audit and Post-legislative Scrutiny Committee in 2002. I welcome Edward Mountain, who is attending our evidence session with the Auditor General.

Before we begin, I remind members, witnesses and staff that social distancing measures are in place in committee rooms and across the Holyrood campus. I ask everyone to take care to observe the measures during the course of this morning’s business, including when exiting and entering the committee room. I also remind members not to touch the microphones or consoles during the meeting.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. Do any members object to taking agenda item 3 in private? As Bill Bowman is joining the meeting remotely, he should raise his hand if he objects.

That is agreed.
