Scottish Parliament Transport and the Environment Committee Wednesday 23 January 2002 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 09:35]

I welcome all members, members of the press and the public to the third meeting this year of the Transport and the Environment Committee. We have received no apologies. However, Des McNulty will be late, as he is experiencing travel difficulties. It seems appropriate that a member of the Transport and the Environment Committee should be having such difficulties along with the rest of Scotland. I also welcome to the meeting some non-members of the committee—Bruce Crawford, Richard Lochhead and Jackie Baillie—who will speak to their amendments to the Water Industry (Scotland) Bill.
