Scottish Parliament Finance Committee Tuesday 16 April 2002 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:05]
I open the seventh meeting of the Finance Committee in 2002. As usual, I ask that mobile phones and pagers be turned off.
We have received an apology from Jamie Stone, who is in transit to the Parliament, but is stuck between here and the airport. He will join us later. Professor Arthur Midwinter is in attendance.
I remind members that an informal briefing on cross-cutting reviews from the Scottish Executive's principal finance officer, Peter Collings, will take place immediately after completion of today's formal committee business. I also remind members that an informal meeting with Peter Peacock will take place in the Government room in the assembly hall building between 1.30 pm and 2.30 pm tomorrow.
