Scottish Parliament Public Petitions Committee Tuesday 7 May 2002 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:02]

The Convener (Mr John McAllion):

I welcome everyone to the eighth meeting this year of the Public Petitions Committee. This is a landmark meeting in that we will consider our 500th petition. The fact that we have received so many petitions so far is a good milestone for the committee and for the public petitioning process.

We have received apologies from Winnie Ewing, who is fogbound at Inverness airport. We have six different sets of speakers this morning, so it will be helpful for getting through our business if members keep their questions brief and to the point. I also ask the petitioners to keep their answers brief and to the point.
