Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the 30th meeting in 2023 of the Rural Affairs and Islands Committee. We have received apologies from Karen Adam MSP. I welcome to the meeting Emma Harper MSP, who is substituting for her.

I remind committee members who are using electronic devices to switch them to silent.

Our first item of business is a decision on whether to take in private item 9, which is consideration of the evidence that we will take on the Welfare of Dogs (Scotland) Bill. Do members agree to take that item in private?

Members indicated agreement.
