Scottish Parliament Enterprise and Culture Committee Tuesday 14 June 2005

[The Convener opened the meeting at 14:00]

The Convener (Alex Neil):

As it is 2 o'clock, we will start the meeting. I welcome everybody to the 14th meeting in 2005 of the Enterprise and Culture Committee.

First, I will make some housekeeping points. With the committee's permission, I have allowed the Parliament's photographer to take photographs for our annual report during the early part of the meeting. I hope that the minister does not mind, although I think that the photographer will mainly photograph the back of her head.

That is my best feature.

I also welcome clerks from the House of Commons who are with us.

I ask everybody to switch off their mobile phones. Apologies have been received from Susan Deacon and Jamie Stone.
