Scottish Parliament Transport and the Environment Committee Wednesday 6 October 1999 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:03]
I formally open this meeting of the Transport and the Environment Committee of the Scottish Parliament. I welcome those sitting in the public gallery.
It would be remiss of me if I did not, at the start of this meeting, refer to yesterday's tragic rail crash. Committee members join me in passing on our sympathies to those involved. We recognise that it was a tragedy and we recognise the sadness of the families and friends of those involved in the incident. We also pass on our thoughts to those in the public services who are involved in trying to deal with this tragic situation.
I advise members that Linda Fabiani has submitted her apologies for this meeting.
