Item in Private

The Convener (Mr John Swinney):

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the second meeting of the European and External Relations Committee in 2005. We have apologies from Gordon Jackson, who is absent because of a family illness. I have received no other apologies.

I intend to pass on the first agenda item until Iain Smith arrives. He is a new member, joining the committee to represent the Liberal Democrats. I will invite him to declare any relevant interests when he is available to do so.

The second item is a proposal that we consider in private item 8, which is consideration of the conclusions of our report on the promoting Scotland worldwide inquiry. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
