Scottish Parliament Rural Affairs Committee Tuesday 23 May 2000 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:09]
Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, for your early attendance this morning. I understand that most of you came down from Aberdeen on the same train. We have received apologies from Alex Fergusson and Alasdair Morgan.
Item 1 is included to avoid any misunderstanding; it is on whether we should take item 5 in private. Item 5 is consideration of the draft paper summarising the outcome of the recent fact-finding visit to the Highlands and Aberdeenshire. It would be normal practice for us to receive such a report in private. Is the committee agreed that we take item 5 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
Thank you.
