Scottish Parliament Public Petitions Committee Tuesday 12 February 2002 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:03]

The Convener (Mr John McAllion):

I welcome everyone to the third meeting in 2002 of the Public Petitions Committee. In particular, I welcome Joanne Clinton, who is our new assistant clerk. She has joined Steve Farrell and Franck David to bring our whole-time equivalent staff up to 1.4. Perhaps that is a plea on my part for more help, which is needed to make this committee work properly.

We have received apologies from Helen Eadie. There are no other apologies.

We have a heavy agenda, which includes consideration of nine new petitions, for only two of which we will not take further evidence from petitioners. I therefore ask members to be as precise as possible in their questioning, so that we can get through the agenda.
