Scottish Parliament European Committee Monday 22 October 2001 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:39]

Ladies and gentlemen, I welcome you to the European Committee's 11th meeting in 2001. I apologise for the delay in starting, which was because of the vagaries of ScotRail.

I have received apologies from Dennis Canavan. Lloyd Quinan might be otherwise engaged at the moment, but I do not think that there are any other apologies.

I understand that Lloyd Quinan gave a kind of apology to the clerk in advance.

He apologised to the sheriff.

Was he hoping to get arrested?

I do not know.

We will say no more about that.
