Scottish Parliament Justice 1 Committee and Justice 2 Committee (Joint Meeting) Tuesday 7 October 2003 (Afternoon)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 14:05]
I welcome members to this joint meeting of the two justice committees. Once again, I remind all members to turn off mobile phones and pagers.
Let me just mention that we shall be joined by members of the Basque Government who are visiting the Scottish Parliament. They will appear in the course of the afternoon, and I shall introduce them when they do so.
I welcome Brian Main, who is the adviser to the committee. On behalf of all members of both committees, I express our grateful thanks to him for the welcome support that he is giving us in the budget process.
I have a note of apology from Margaret Mitchell. Mike Pringle has indicated that he will attend the meeting, but that he will be late.
