Scottish Parliament Enterprise and Lifelong Learning Committee Wednesday 1 September 1999 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:32]

Good morning. I open the proceedings of the Enterprise and Lifelong Learning Committee this morning by welcoming committee members, members of the public and the media. I particularly welcome the minister, Mr McLeish, and his colleagues. We are joined today by David Davidson and Helen Eadie, who, although not members of the committee, are members of the Parliament who have expressed an interest in the committee's work. I welcome their participation, which, of course, is subject to their catching the convener's eye.

I invite Mr McLeish to introduce his team and then to make a statement on the priorities of the enterprise and lifelong learning department.
