Scottish Parliament Finance Committee Tuesday 13 June 2000 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 09:58]

Good morning. I call the meeting to order or, rather, I recall the meeting to order, as we have had an earlier session in private. We have received apologies from Adam Ingram.

We have a fairly heavy agenda, items 3 to 6 of which involve the Minister for Finance. I suggest that we have a brief break—of no more than five minutes—between items 5 and 6 to give us all, including the minister, a chance to collect our thoughts and refocus as we switch from European structural funds to the budget.
