Scottish Parliament Environment and Rural Development Committee Tuesday 10 June 2003 (Afternoon)

[The Oldest Committee Member opened the meeting at 13:00]

Maureen Macmillan (Oldest Committee Member):

Ladies and gentlemen, I am sure that you will be surprised to learn that I am the oldest committee member; I therefore have the privilege of taking the chair. I welcome members to the first meeting of the Environment and Rural Development Committee, which is a new committee that combines two subject areas that were dealt with previously by separate committees. I also welcome the members of the public and the press who are present—some of them are familiar faces.
