Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the first meeting of the Scottish Commission for Public Audit in 2010. We have received apologies from Robert Brown and Hugh Henry. I remind people to switch off their mobile phones. I am not entirely sure that I have switched mine off, so I will have a bit of a rummage in my typically voluminous handbag.

Before we proceed with the agenda, I extend a warm welcome to Terry Shevlin, who is the new secretary to the commission.

Hear, hear.

I also pay tribute formally to Mark Brough, who is away on secondment to the Accounts Commission and has served the Scottish Commission for Public Audit diligently over the past two years.

Do members agree to take in private item 3, to enable us to reflect on the evidence that we will hear from a Scottish Government official?

Members indicated agreement.
