Scottish Parliament Environment and Rural Development Committee Thursday 9 September 2004

[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:01]

The Convener (Sarah Boyack):

Good morning. I welcome members, witnesses and members of the press and public to the first meeting of the Environment and Rural Development Committee in the new term and in the Holyrood building. I have not received any apologies.

I ask members to check that they have inserted their cards in the new sound system. I assume that all mobile phones are switched off—that is always worth checking. We are slightly new to the equipment, but I hope that everything will work smoothly. I remind members that they do not need to use the request-to-speak buttons. As usual, members should indicate to me when they would like to come in with questions, comments or other contributions.
