 Gweinwch. Can I welcome everyone to the eighth meeting of the Education and Skills Committee? Can I please remind everyone to present to turn their mobile phones off and that other device is on to silent for the duration of the meeting? The purpose of the first agenda item is to agree to take a number of items of business and private, namely item 3, on today's agenda, on the Legislative Consent memorandum, consideration of the work programme next week and reviews of its pre-budget scrutiny evidence sessions at meetings in November? Does the committee agree to take these items in private? Agenda item 2 is to consider a negative instrument. The committee first considered this instrument on 5 October and agreed to highlight issues raised by the DPLR committee to the Minister for Further Education, Higher Education and Science. The minister's response is in the committee papers. No member has raised any issue on this instrument in advance. No motion to annul has been lodged and this is the committee's last opportunity to consider this instrument. Can I therefore ask whether members have any comments on the Education, Student Loans, Scotland amendment regulations 2016? In that case, that brings us to the conclusion of the public part of the meeting today. I hope that you enjoyed it.
