Maggie Chapman did not wish to move amendment 4, but it has been moved by Jeremy Balfour. I therefore ask him to sum up and say whether he wishes to press or withdraw amendment 4.

The result of the division is: For 4, Against 4, Abstentions 0.
Again, there is a tie, so I will need to use my casting vote. Given the minister’s assurances regarding further work in the area, I cast my vote against amendment 5.
Amendment 5 disagreed to.
Section 1 agreed to.

Decision on Taking Business in Private
Meeting date: 30 September 2021
Neil Gray
Good morning, and welcome to the sixth meeting in 2021 of the Social Justice and Social Security Committee. We have received apologies from Natalie Don, and I am glad to say that Evelyn Tweed is attending as her substitute. [Interruption.] I am reminded by the alert on my laptop going off that we should have our mobile phones on silent.
Our first item of business is a decision on whether to take item 6, which is consideration of our work programme, in private. Do we agree to take item 6 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
