Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, and welcome to the 26th meeting in 2020 of the Public Audit and Post-legislative Scrutiny Committee. Before we begin, I remind members, witnesses and staff that social distancing measures are in place in committee rooms and across the Holyrood campus. In addition, a face covering must be worn when moving around and when exiting and entering the committee room, although it can be removed once you are seated at the table and in the committee room. I also remind all present to turn all electronic devices to silent mode so that they do not disturb the committee’s work.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on taking business in private. Does any member object to taking items 3 and 4 in private? I ask Colin Beattie, Alex Neil, Neil Bibby and Willie Coffey, who are joining us remotely, to raise their hand if they object.

I confirm that we agree to take those items in private.
