Scottish Parliament Education Committee Wednesday 12 May 2004

[The Convener opened the meeting at 09:49]

The Convener (Robert Brown):

I welcome everybody to this meeting of the Education Committee. We are in public session, so I ask everyone to ensure that their mobile phones and pagers are turned off. We have received apologies from Elaine Murray.

I will use the convener's privilege at this point to mention the disaster in Maryhill yesterday. I ask everybody to stand, if they will, for a minute's silence in memory of those who died in the tragedy. It might also be appropriate to ask that our sympathy for the victims of the disaster be noted in the minutes of the meeting.
