Scottish Parliament Justice and Home Affairs Committee Tuesday 25 January 2000 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 09:35]

Good morning, everyone.

One or two conversations are taking place because a member of the committee is unable to attend the meeting this morning. Pauline McNeill sent her apologies and, although she might be able to be present later, we have been discussing how to handle the arrangements, whether pairing is appropriate and so on. That is why the start of the meeting has been slightly delayed. Pauline's apologies are noted at this stage, but if she is able to turn up at some point, she will be marked as present and her apologies can be withdrawn.
