Scottish Parliament Transport and the Environment Committee Wednesday 7 February 2001 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting in private at 10:18]
Meeting continued in public.
I welcome everyone to the fourth meeting this year of the Transport and the Environment Committee. I have received apologies from Robin Harper.
I would like to express my disappointment that we did not get to Aberdeen on Monday. A lot of hard work and effort went into arranging that meeting and it was unfortunate that it could not take place. The Grampian police advice to motorists was not to travel unless the journey was absolutely necessary and, in those circumstances, we felt it inappropriate to ask witnesses, the public, staff and members to make the visit. We will reschedule all the water witnesses to ensure that we hear evidence from everyone from whom we were going to hear in Aberdeen. This morning we are joined by West of Scotland Water.
