Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the second meeting in 2023 of the Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on whether to take item 3 in private. Item 3 is consideration of the evidence that we will hear today as part of our scrutiny of the Scottish Government’s budget for 2023-24. Do members agree to take that item in private?

Members indicated agreement.

At an earlier meeting, we agreed to take item 4—consideration of a draft report—in private.

Normally, we would move to item 2, which is budget scrutiny. However, the Cabinet Secretary for Net Zero, Energy and Transport has been unavoidably delayed. We will therefore move to item 4, which will be taken in private, and we will recommence in public session when the cabinet secretary has managed to get to the Parliament. Does anyone have any problems with that?

Members: No.
