Scottish Parliament Justice 2 Committee Wednesday 14 November 2001 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting in private at 09:46]

Meeting continued in public.

I welcome everyone to the 31st meeting of the Justice 2 committee. As usual, I remind everyone to check that their mobile phones and pagers are switched off. All members should have a copy of the revised agenda and additional papers. I have received no apologies and we have a full attendance today. Thank you for that.

There is a consultation document on liquor licensing laws, the deadline for which is 16 November. I have not been told that the Justice 1 Committee will consider the issue, but I thought that I should let members know about that document, which will be of interest. If members want to make a submission to the consultation exercise, they can do so. If they think that liquor licensing laws are a matter for the committee, we can discuss the issue when we next consider our future work programme.
