Scottish Parliament Social Inclusion, Housing and Voluntary Sector Committee Wednesday 30 June 1999 (Afternoon)
[The Oldest Member of the Committee opened the meeting at 14:15]
Ladies and gentlemen, it is with some chagrin that I record that I have been identified as the oldest member, which means that I am to chair the initial part of the proceedings. I should say that I am the oldest member, but only just; courtesy forbids identifying the second oldest.
Do all members have the appropriate papers? I see that they have.
I will preside over the first two items of business, before handing over to the elected convener. I should mention at the start that in this committee room there is no requirement to press a button. What members have to say will be picked up automatically.
