Good morning and welcome to the 18th meeting of the Social Justice and Social Security Committee in 2025. We have apologies from Paul O鈥橩ane.
Before we begin, I would like to record the committee鈥檚 thanks to the women from the Scottish Women鈥檚 Aid survivor reference group for taking the time to meet with us yesterday to discuss the evidence heard during our inquiry into financial considerations when leaving an abusive relationship. It is very much appreciated and it was really helpful to chat with you last night. Thank you for that.
Our first item of business is to decide whether to take items 5 and 6 in private. Do we agree to do so?
Members indicated agreement.
