Scottish Parliament Local Government Committee Tuesday 31 October 2000 (Afternoon)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 14:02]

Right, comrades—let us start. We have not received apologies from any members, but Gil Paterson and Bristow Muldoon will be a bit late.

This is our first meeting since the death of Donald Dewar and I would like the Official Report to record the committee's regret at Donald's untimely death. I am sure that all members feel that regret.
