Item in Private
Welcome to the 10th meeting of the Standards and Public Appointments Committee in 2006. I ask members and others to switch off their mobile phones. We have had apologies from Alex Fergusson, and I understand that some members may be delayed due to travel difficulties.
Agenda item 1 relates to consideration of a complaint that was referred to the committee, at stage 3 of the complaints process. The code of conduct specifies that initial consideration should take place in private to avoid prejudice to any possible further investigation. Are members content to take item 4 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
