Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, and a warm welcome to the 26th meeting in 2024 of the Constitution, Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee. We have received apologies from Keith Brown, and Jackie Dunbar is attending as his substitute. I invite Ms Dunbar to declare any relevant interests.

I have none that I am aware of.

I also welcome Foysol Choudhury, who joins us as a substitute for Mr Bibby.

I put on record our thanks to Megan Caskie, who is, sadly, leaving us to take up a promoted post in the legislation team. I can say with confidence that our loss is the legislation team’s gain. On behalf of the committee, I thank Megan for her tremendous effort and wish her every success in her new role.

Our first agenda item is a decision on taking business in private. Are members content to take item 3 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
