Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the fifth meeting in 2023 of the Rural Affairs, Islands and Natural Environment Committee. That is the first mistake of the day: we are no longer the Rural Affairs, Islands and Natural Environment Committee. Well done to those who spotted it. We are now the Rural Affairs and Islands Committee. I ask all those using electronic devices to ensure that they are switched to silent.

Our first agenda item is a decision on whether to consider the evidence heard as part of our scrutiny of future agriculture policy in private at this and further meetings. Do members agree to do so?

Members indicated agreement.
