Scottish Parliament Subordinate Legislation Committee Tuesday 25 March 2003 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 11:19]
I welcome everyone to the 12th meeting of the Subordinate Legislation Committee in 2003, and our final meeting in this parliamentary session. Unhappily for him and for us, Gordon Jackson will not be joining us this morning. I believe that he is in good health, but is up to his neck in political things.
We will follow the procedure that we followed last week, when we had a flood of instruments. In other words, we have already taken note of what has been sent to us and have raised our questions with the Executive in advance of this meeting. As a result, we have received responses to three particular instruments. I think that we should simply work our way through the instruments as they appear on the agenda.
