Scottish Parliament Education, Culture and Sport Committee Tuesday 2 May 2000

[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:01]

Good morning, everybody. I welcome the witnesses to this morning's meeting of the Education, Culture and Sport Committee. In a moment I will explain how we intend to proceed. I also welcome John Munro to the meeting.

I draw members' attention to the gadget that they have before them, which allows us to take simultaneous translation from the Gaelic. Members will see that it is tuned to channel 3, which is the channel that we will be using. The volume control is on the left-hand side of the gadget, which members may use when they wish. Members also need to press the green start button. Anyone who has difficulties should indicate that to us and we will try to assist them.
