Scottish Parliament Justice 1 Committee and Justice 2 Committee (Joint Meeting) Wednesday 1 May 2002 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 11:31]
We are quorate, so we will begin. This meeting is our first formal evidence-taking session on the budget. The Justice 1 Committee and the Justice 2 Committee have been given permission by the Parliamentary Bureau to have a joint meeting as we did last year, which seemed to work quite well.
I have received several apologies. Maureen Macmillan, George Lyon, Stewart Stevenson and Scott Barrie are unable to attend the meeting. I welcome Brian Main, who is our adviser. I am sure that members will have many questions for him.
