Good morning, and welcome to the 14th meeting in 2022 of the Social Justice and Social Security Committee. We have received apologies from Natalie Don, Miles Briggs and Emma Roddick. Evelyn Tweed is attending the meeting as a substitute. Welcome back to the committee, Evelyn.
Our first item of business is a decision on whether to take item 3 in private. Do we agree to take that item in private?

Pam Duncan-Glancy, do you have any more questions at this point?
