Scottish Parliament Local Government Committee Tuesday 9 May 2000 (Afternoon)
[The Deputy Convener opened the meeting at 14:02]
We will get started and, while we wait for some members to arrive, deal with some smaller items before we reach the main items on the agenda.
I have received apologies from Trish Godman, the convener, who is unable to attend; I will chair the meeting in her absence. I have also received apologies from Donald Gorrie and Jamie Stone, who are unable to attend.
I would like to introduce Irene Fleming, the new senior assistant clerk to the Local Government Committee. We welcome her and wish her good fortune; we look forward to her working with us in the coming period.
The first item on the agenda is for us to agree that item 5 be taken in private. Are we agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
