 I slide open the meeting, and I welcome members of the committee and all those present to the 11th meeting of the Devolution of the powers committee. Agenda item one, taking decisions in private. Ask members whether they agree to take item two, consideration of an approach paper on the forthcoming Scottish elections bracket reductions of voting age, bracket Scotland bill, to be taken in private. I thank members for that. Let me know that the next meeting of the committee will be on 23 April and that the committee will take evidence on the Scottish elections reductions in voting age of Scotland bill. I now move us into private session.
