[The Convener opened the meeting at 14:02]

The Convener (Alex Fergusson):

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to this meeting of the Rural Development Committee. We have apologies from Richard Lochhead, Irene Oldfather, Elaine Smith and Jamie McGrigor. I understand that other members will be along shortly—at least I hope so. I issue my usual reminder that all mobile phones should be switched off.
