Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to this meeting of the Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change Committee. I wish those returning a happy new year. I remind everyone to keep mobile phones and pagers switched off, not just on silent. We have a few Bob the Builder types in the public gallery, but I remind everyone that interruptions from the public seats are not welcome.

There are three items on the agenda for today's meeting. Item 1 is to decide whether to take in private item 3, which is consideration of our work programme. When we discuss our work programme as a whole, we often do so in private. Given that we are dealing with a late addition to the programme, I wonder whether we need to take the item in private. What are members' views on the issue?

I would be happy to take the item in public.

Are there any objections to that suggestion?

No.

We will take the item in public.
