Good morning. I welcome everybody to the committee's 22nd meeting of 2009. The main purpose of today's meeting is to discuss stage 1 evidence on the Marine (Scotland) Bill with a view to agreeing a report in the next couple of weeks. It was agreed previously that that discussion would take place in private, as is standard practice in committees.

I remind everybody to turn off their mobile phones. We have apologies from Liam McArthur.

Agenda item 1 is consideration of three negative instruments. We have received no comments from the Subordinate Legislation Committee. No committee members have raised any concerns in advance and no motions to annul have been lodged. If members have no comments on any of the instruments, do we agree to note them?

Members indicated agreement.
