Scottish Parliament Procedures Committee Tuesday 19 December 2000 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:01]
Good morning ladies and gentlemen and festive greetings to all. I apologise for the late start, but we were having a chat about the committee substitutes paper that appeared very late in the day and which we will discuss under item 4.
We have received apologies from Andy Kerr, who is unwell. Kay Ullrich has intimated her resignation from the committee. Before we proceed, I am sure that members will wish me to thank Kay Ullrich for her contribution to the committee's work.
There is no paper for the first item on the agenda, which relates to taking item 8 in private. Although the item relates to the inquiry into the consultative steering group principles of openness and transparency, this morning we will discuss an appointment and that matter requires some discretion. I will therefore be grateful if the committee agrees to take that item in private. Are we agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
