Scottish Parliament Communities Committee Tuesday 10 June 2003 (Afternoon)
[The Oldest Committee Member opened the meeting at 15:30]
We are all here and the clock indicates that it is half past 3. When I opened another meeting an hour ago I mistook the time, so I am improving.
It falls to me as the oldest member to open the meeting, as we have not yet elected a convener. I welcome everyone to the committee, especially new members of the Parliament. I am sure that they will find committee work one of the more interesting of their activities.
