Decision on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Jackson Carlaw)

Good morning, and welcome to the Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee, here in the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh.

At our last meeting, the committee agreed to review its policy on written submissions. Our first agenda item is a decision on whether the committee’s consideration of the policy should be taken in private at a future meeting. As colleagues will recall, we expect to have a paper shortly on our policy about receiving submissions once a petition is actively under consideration. I suggest that we publish the paper but that, other than that, the item is conducted, as normal, in private. Are members content to consider the item in private?

Members indicated agreement.
