Decision on Taking Business in Private

Welcome to the 34th meeting in 2024 of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee. I remind everyone to switch off, or put to silent, mobile phones and other electronic devices.

The first item of business is to decide whether to take items 4, 5, 6 and 7 in private. Is the committee content to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.

I will bring in Daniel Johnson.

Thank you, convener. I would like to make a declaration of interests. With regard to agenda item 2, I ask the committee to note that the University of Edinburgh sports ground is in my constituency. With regard to agenda item 6, which we will discuss in private, I am a Scottish Labour and Co-operative Party MSP, and I am also a member of two trade unions: the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers—USDAW—and Community, both of which contributed to my election campaigns in 2016 and 2021. Information on that is available to see in my submissions to the Electoral Commission.

Thank you for that, Mr Johnson.
