Good morning, and welcome to the third meeting in 2021 of the Local Government and Communities Committee. Please ensure that all mobile phones are in silent mode. I remind everyone that broadcasting will operate the cameras and microphones as usual, so please allow a short pause after being called to speak to allow them to do so.
Agenda item 1 is consideration of whether to take agenda item 4 in private. Item 4 is consideration of evidence that we will hear today on the Travelling Funfairs (Licensing) (Scotland) Bill. We are meeting remotely, so rather than asking whether everyone agrees, I will, as usual, instead ask whether anyone objects. If there is silence, I will assume that you are content.
As no one has objected, that is agreed, and item 4 will be taken in private.
