Scottish Parliament Public Petitions Committee Tuesday 6 June 2000 (Afternoon)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 14:04]

The Convener (Mr John McAllion):

I welcome everyone to the 10th meeting of the Public Petitions Committee this year. Apologies have been tendered by Margaret Smith, who will be unable to attend today's meeting. On paper, our work load is lighter than usual, but I know from experience that that means that we will probably have a longer meeting than usual, as people tend to take advantage of a light agenda to talk more. As usual, when it comes to questioning petitioners, I ask members to keep their contributions to questions, rather than statements about the substance of the petition.
