Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning. Welcome to the third meeting of the Forth Crossing Bill Committee. I will remember to say this week what I did not remember to say last week and invite people to switch off their phones and BlackBerrys, as they interfere with the technical equipment.

Agenda item 1 is a simple decision on whether to take in private item 3, which is consideration of oral evidence. It might be helpful if, rather than repeating the process at each meeting, we reach a blanket agreement to take that item in private each time. Are we agreed to consider oral evidence in private at each meeting?

Members indicated agreement.
