Invitations

The Convener:

Item 3 on the agenda concerns the invitations that have been received by the committee. Members will be aware that we have received three invitations. One is from British Energy, inviting us to Torness power station. I appreciate that that would not fit in with our work load and our agreed programme of work. If members agree, I shall keep that invitation on hold, so that, when we begin to consider that subject, we can make that visit. Is the committee agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

The Convener:

Fenwick Community Council has asked to meet the committee. Bearing in mind the nature of the announcements that may be made tomorrow, it may be wise to keep that suggestion on hold as well. Is the committee agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

The Scottish Forum for Transport and the Environment wants to meet the committee to discuss its document "Transport Policy Options for a Sustainable Scotland: 2000-2002". We note the invitation, and that document has been circulated.

Lynn Tullis (Committee Clerk):

The document was circulated individually to members some time ago.

I remember it. We can discuss it later. I am sure that members will have it in their files at home or in the office. We will revisit that issue when it is more appropriate to the committee's work programme.
