Scottish Parliament Local Government Committee Tuesday 3 September 2002 (Afternoon)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 14:01]

Okay, comrades, we can start. I welcome you back after our summer recess and hope that you are back fighting fit.

I notice that we have two official reporters who are new to the Local Government Committee—Mark Ewing is sitting at the back and is obviously keeping his eye on them. I welcome the new reporters to the committee.
