[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:01]
Good morning and welcome to the 11th meeting in 2001 of the Standards Committee. I extend a particularly warm welcome to Jackie Baillie, who joins us for item 2 on the agenda. We have received apologies from Kay Ullrich and, of course, from Susan Deacon, who is otherwise engaged. I am sure that the committee would like to join me in sending congratulations to Susan on the birth of her son, James.
