Witness Expenses

The Convener (Murdo Fraser)

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I welcome you all to the 24th meeting in 2015 of the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee. I remind everyone to turn off, or at least turn to silent, all mobile phones and other electronic devices, so that they do not interfere with the committee’s work.

We are a little low in number this morning. We have apologies from three committee members who are either unwell or have to be elsewhere: Dennis Robertson, Richard Lyle and Johann Lamont. Two other members, Patrick Harvie and Joan McAlpine, and one of our witnesses have been hit by travel delays. I hope that they will all be with us shortly.

Agenda item 1 is witness expenses. Are committee members content to delegate to the convener the responsibility for arranging for the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body to pay, under rule 12.4.3, expenses of witnesses in our inquiry?

Members indicated agreement.
