Scottish Parliament Social Inclusion, Housing and Voluntary Sector Committee Tuesday 16 May 2000 (Afternoon)

[The Deputy Convener opened the meeting in private at 14:34]

Meeting continued in public.

The Deputy Convener (Fiona Hyslop):

I would like to move that items three and four, our forward work programme and the evidence from the Scottish Prison Service, be considered in private. We have been given satisfactory reasoning as to why the evidence from the SPS should be heard in private. Are we agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

Could I check one point? The note that I received said that the official report will produce a report of the evidence, but that it will not appear as the Official Report. Can it be published as the Official Report later?

Sarah Davidson (Clerk Team Leader):

The official report will produce a transcript of the SPS evidence, which will be published with the committee's evidence. However, it will not be the Official Report.

Can it appear as the Official Report later on?

Sarah Davidson:

No.

It is not being made public now, but will be made public when we publish our report.

Sarah Davidson:

Yes.

Meeting continued in private.

Meeting continued in public.

We now move into public session. We cannot go beyond 6 o'clock. Can we focus our questions and try to finish in three quarters of an hour? The questions are shorter for this part of the meeting.
