Item in Private

Good morning and welcome to the 18th meeting in 2005 of the Public Petitions Committee. I have received apologies from Charlie Gordon, and Rosie Kane is running late due to delays on the trains. I apologise to everyone for the delay; a few of us were held up in traffic, so we are starting the meeting a little late.

Agenda item 1 is consideration of whether to take item 4 in private. Item 4 concerns the payment of witness expenses and it is not usual for us to discuss those in public. Do members agree that we should take item 4 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
