Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning and welcome to the 11th meeting in 2021 of the Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee. I ask members and witnesses to ensure that their mobile phones are on silent and that all notifications are turned off during the meeting.

Our first agenda item is consideration of whether to take items 6 and 7 in private. Item 6 is an opportunity for members to reflect on the evidence that we are about to hear on the draft Valuation and Rating (Coronavirus) (Scotland) Order 2021 and item 7 is an opportunity for the committee to consider its approach to scrutiny, communications and engagement for its work on the national planning framework 4. Do members agree to take items?6 and 7?in private?

Members indicated agreement.
