I welcome everyone to the first meeting of the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee after the summer recess. I hope that all members had an enjoyable recess, enjoyed our fabulous weather and took the opportunity to visit some of Scotland's businesses and tourist attractions. I also hope that they managed to visit some of our National Trust for Scotland attractions—those that are still open, anyway. At this point, I ask members and the public to switch off all mobile phones, BlackBerrys and other such devices as they interfere with the sound system, even when switched to silent.
Members indicated agreement.
