Scottish Parliament Rural Development Committee Tuesday 4 February 2003 (Afternoon)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 14:05]

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. We have a great deal to get through today, so we will make progress without further ado. I have received no apologies. I begin with the usual stricture, which also applies to people in the public gallery, that all mobile phones should be turned off. I welcome the members of the public and the witnesses.
