Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, and welcome to the 23rd meeting in 2023 of the Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee. We have received apologies from Jackie Dunbar, and Bob Doris is attending the meeting as a substitute member for the Scottish National Party. Welcome, again, Bob.

This is our first public meeting since our deputy convener, Fiona Hyslop, left the committee to take up her new role as Minister for Transport. I am sure that we all agree that the committee benefited greatly from Fiona’s experience in government and the diligence that she showed while on the committee. We all wish her well in her new role—there are lots of things to deal with. I am glad that we have that on the record.

Under our first agenda item, we must decide whether to take items 5 and 6 in private. Item 5 is consideration of the evidence that we will hear under item 2, and item 6 is consideration of our work programme. Do members agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
