Scottish Parliament Standards Committee Wednesday 31 January 2001 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 09:32]
Good morning and welcome to the first meeting this year of the Standards Committee.
I extend a warm welcome to new committee members Frank McAveety, Ken McIntosh and Kay Ullrich. Kay Ullrich sends her apologies. Those new members replace Karen Gillon, Des McNulty and Adam Ingram, for whose hard work over the past year and a half I want to record the committee's thanks.
The committee has achieved a great deal but, as members will see from today's agenda, we have some challenging work ahead of us this year. We have a large amount of business to get through today, but we also have the opportunity to make significant progress on a number of issues.
