Scottish Parliament Standards Committee Wednesday 30 January 2002 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 09:34]

Welcome to the second meeting this year of the Standards Committee. We have received apologies from Lord James Douglas-Hamilton, who is flying back from Brussels and cannot be with us today, and our clerk, Dr Sam Jones, who is ill.

Before we start on the agenda I inform members that Dr Jim Johnston is leaving the committee's clerking team to become clerk to the Social Justice and Equal Opportunities committees. I formally record my thanks to him for his professionalism and hard work in supporting the committee and I wish him well in his future. I am sure that members concur.

We look forward to Dr Johnston's future journals. We are his Boswell.
