[The Convener opened the meeting at 11:35]
I welcome everyone to the eighth meeting of the Subordinate Legislation Committee in 2003. Apologies have been received from Bill Butler and Brian Fitzpatrick. An attempt was made to get Jackie Baillie as a substitute, but she also found it impossible to get to the committee this morning. However, everyone has observed the proprieties, there are enough of us and, as Murdo Fraser has pointed out, it is the quality that is present this morning.
