[The Convener opened the meeting at 09:32]
This morning we have a number of food issues to discuss, which is interesting, given that this afternoon in Parliament we will be debating the food standards agency. Some extra items have been added to our agenda at fairly short notice, so I hope that we can be patient with each other as we work our way through them. I believe that this is the first time that any of the committees of the Parliament has had to consider how to deal with this type of statutory instrument. I therefore propose to adjourn the committee—after only a minute—so that we can have a private briefing on how we should proceed.
Meeting suspended.
On resuming—
I have received apologies from Irene Oldfather and Hugh Henry, who will not be joining us this morning.
