Scottish Parliament Justice and Home Affairs Committee Wednesday 1 December 1999 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 09:30]

Good morning. Although only four members of the committee are present, nevertheless the meeting is quorate. Based on past performance, people will drift in over the next five minutes. I intend to get the first couple of agenda items out of the way.

I wish to raise an issue before we move on, convener.

During our discussions with the Scottish Prison Service on 23 November, I gave a wrong figure at column 440 of the Official Report of that meeting. It should have read 6,025 rather than 7,025, which changes significantly my line of questioning. I apologise for that error.

Thank you, Phil. You copied to me the letter that you sent to Tony Cameron, which I am sure he appreciated.

I received a nice letter back from him.

These things happen to all of us from time to time. Thank you for putting that on record.
