Temporary Standards Adviser

The Convener (Mr Mike Rumbles): Good afternoon and welcome to the 12^th meeting this year of the Standards Committee. We have only one item on the agenda—the appointment of our temporary standards adviser. As this issue addresses internal parliamentary policy, I propose that we move into private session. Are members agreed?
