Items in Private

As we have a quorum, we will start the 29th meeting of the Enterprise and Lifelong Learning Committee in 2001.

I welcome Rhona Brankin to the committee. She is a new committee member and we look forward to her participating in the committee. Her background, as the committee probably knows, is in teaching in the further education sector. That will be extremely helpful.

Bill Butler, who has left the committee, has also been helpful and a major contributor in recent months. I place on record the committee's gratitude to Bill Butler and wish him well in his new committee ventures.

We have apologies this morning from Tavish Scott. Kenny MacAskill has indicated that he will be late. It is clear that others will be late, but they have not indicated that fact—9.30 is early for some people.

Item 1 is that the committee agree to discuss items 4 and 5 in private. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
