I welcome colleagues, members and members of the public and press to the meeting. I remind people to turn off their phones. Apologies have been received from Elaine Smith, who will not be with us this afternoon. Alasdair Morrison sent me a message on his BlackBerry to say that he is on the Inverness to Edinburgh train, which is not here yet.
I have nothing to declare.
Members should note that Elaine Smith was appointed to replace Karen Gillon on the committee at the meeting of Parliament on 13 June. Elaine has sent her apologies for missing this meeting, but at the first meeting that she attends we will ask her to declare any interests that are relevant.
