Scottish Parliament Health and Community Care Committee Wednesday 23 January 2002 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 09:30]

The Convener (Mrs Margaret Smith):

Good morning, everybody. Welcome to this morning's meeting of the Health and Community Care Committee. Before we start on today's agenda, I want to mention reports in this morning's press about requests to be made on the committee's behalf for Robin Cook MP to attend a meeting in relation to the Tobacco Advertising and Promotion (Scotland) Bill. I want to clarify that the committee has taken no such decision to date.

It has been the committee's normal practice to make decisions and then for any requests to ministers or anyone else to be put in my name, as convener, on behalf of all committee members. It has certainly not been normal practice for me or any other committee member to announce such matters to the press in advance of decisions being taken by the committee. We will return to the matter later.
