Scottish Parliament Public Petitions Committee Tuesday 18 June 2002 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 11:02]

The Convener (Mr John McAllion):

I welcome everyone to the 11th meeting this year of the Public Petitions Committee. We have received no apologies. As the Deputy Minister for Enterprise, Transport and Lifelong Learning will attend the meeting to respond to petition PE500, I ask members to agree to an adjustment to the timetable that will allow us to deal with current petitions before we deal with new petitions. Given the pressure on the minister's time, I ask members to agree that, when he arrives, we move straight to consideration of PE500. Are we agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

The Convener:

In addition to the minister, three petitioners and our own Phil Gallie wish to address the committee later in the meeting. I ask members to be as succinct as possible today when they are asking questions. Our agenda is heavy and we have a lot of work to get through. I thank members in advance for their co-operation.
