Scottish Parliament Social Inclusion, Housing and Voluntary Sector Committee Tuesday 4 July 2000 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 09:37]

My apologies. I am sorry to have kept the committee waiting. As some members will have heard, the Glasgow train stopped for 10 minutes outside Haymarket.

I give my apologies, as I will have to leave for about 45 minutes to attend the Public Petitions Committee, to protect the direct labour organisation workers in North Lanarkshire.

We will let you go, Alex.

I move that agenda item 7 be moved up to agenda item 4. The Finance Committee starts at 12.45 and there is a fair chance that we will not be finished by then. That would make sure that I am here for the whole item.

I think that you flagged that up to Lee Bridges earlier. He has recommended that we move to the housing stock transfer report now.

Sorry, the clerk has advised me that we will move it up to item 4. I move that item 4 be taken in private. That will accommodate those who have to go to the Finance Committee.

Members indicated agreement.
