I welcome everybody to the sixth meeting of the Enterprise and Culture Committee in 2005 and remind people to switch off their mobile phones. We have received apologies from Susan Deacon, who will be slightly late. I welcome to the meeting the Deputy Minister for Enterprise and Lifelong Learning, who is here for items 2 and 3. I also welcome back our colleagues who have just returned from Africa.
Members indicated agreement.
On a point of order, convener. I apologise for not noticing this until now—it is not on the agenda—but I need to update my entry in the register of members' interests and I would be grateful for a chance to do so at the earliest opportunity.
Do you want to do so now?
Yes. I advise the committee that I have been appointed as chair of the Scottish Library and Information Council, the activities of which are relevant to the committee's work.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
