Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, and welcome to the third meeting in 2023 of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee.

Our first agenda item is a decision on taking business in private. Does the committee agree to take in private items 2, 3, 4 and 5; future consideration of procedures on consent in relation to United Kingdom Parliament bills; and future consideration of parliamentary privilege? Item 2 is procedures on consent in relation to UK Parliament bills; item 3 is consideration of a paper on parliamentary privilege; item 4 is consideration of correspondence that we have received from the Presiding Officer; and item 5 is for the committee to review its work programme. Are members in agreement to take those matters in private?

Members indicated agreement.

I am grateful. With that, I move the meeting into private session.
