[The Convener opened the meeting in private at 13.33]
Meeting continued in public.
I convene the second meeting in 2003 of the Justice 1 Committee. I welcome members to the council chambers in Inverness and thank Highland Council for allowing us to use its facilities. Apologies have been received from Wendy Alexander, Paul Martin and Michael Matheson. I remind members and those giving evidence to turn off mobile phones and pagers.
