Good morning and welcome, everyone, to the 29th meeting in 2020 of the Local Government and Communities Committee. Please ensure that your mobile devices are in silent mode. I remind everyone that broadcasting will operate your camera and microphone, as usual. After you are called to speak, please allow a short pause before speaking to allow them to do so.
Agenda item 1 is consideration of whether to take agenda items 6 and 7 in private. Item 6 is consideration of the evidence on the European Charter of Local Self-Government (Incorporation) Scotland Bill. Item 7 is consideration of an approach to scrutiny of a common framework on hazardous substances planning. As we are meeting remotely, rather than asking whether everyone agrees, I will instead ask whether anyone objects. If there is silence, I will assume that members are content.
As no members object, we agree to take items 6 and 7 in private.
