Scottish Parliament Audit Committee Tuesday 4 September 2001 (Afternoon)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 14:00]

I welcome everybody back after the recess—we can now get down to some serious auditing. There are apologies from Keith Raffan. I welcome our colleague David Davidson, who is sitting in and—if he so wishes—participating. He is perhaps a trailer for forthcoming attractions. I make the usual announcement about mobile phones and pagers: if members have them, will they please turn them off.

As this is our first meeting since Nick Johnston's resignation as deputy convener, I thank him for his work. He was especially involved in the work on Holyrood. On behalf of the committee, I express thanks to Nick for his past work and wish him well for the future.
