Scottish Parliament Public Petitions Committee Tuesday 15 February 2000 (Afternoon)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 14:10]
Welcome to this meeting of the Public Petitions Committee.
I apologise for the short delay before members of the public and our invited guests were allowed in. We had to discuss our line of questioning and make sure that it was legally sound.
We have apologies from Phil Gallie, who is unable to be here. In his place, we have Mary Scanlon, who will look after the interests of Phil and his party. Also present are Paul Martin, Fiona McLeod and Dr Richard Simpson. All those MSPs take an interest in the matter that forms item 1 on our agenda, although they are not members of the committee.
