Scottish Parliament Enterprise and Lifelong Learning Committee Wednesday 10 May 2000 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:01]
Good morning. I bring this, the 12th meeting of the Enterprise and Lifelong Learning Committee, to order.
I have some comments on the agenda. On item 3, we will be hearing not from Susan Pinder but from Frank Pignatelli, the chief executive of the Scottish university for industry, who has rearranged his diary to be with us today—we are grateful for that. On item 5, I will report back to the committee in private on the Parliamentary Bureau meeting yesterday in relation to the Education and Training (Scotland) Bill. Finally, I apologise to members and to our witnesses for the cramped surroundings in which we are operating today.
I propose that item 5, which is the consideration of the contents of our report on stage 1 and the general principles of the Education and Training (Scotland) Bill, be held in private. Does the committee agree to that?
Members indicated agreement.
