Good morning, and welcome to the fifth meeting in 2021 of the COVID-19 Recovery Committee. We are joined by Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP, who is not a member of the committee but is attending due to his interest in the proceedings. I welcome Alex to the meeting and invite him to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee’s remit.
Thank you, convener. I am grateful to be here. I have no interests to declare.
Item 3 is to decide whether to take in private item 7, which is consideration of the evidence that we have heard. Do members agree to take item 7 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
