Scottish Parliament Enterprise and Lifelong Learning Committee Tuesday 14 November 2000 (Afternoon)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 14:05]

I welcome everyone to the 27th meeting of the Enterprise and Lifelong Learning Committee.

Before we consider today's main business, I ask the clerk to read out the apologies.

We have had apologies from John Home Robertson, Fergus Ewing, Nick Johnston and Elaine Murray. They all have other committee commitments. Brian Monteith has indicated that he may join us during the meeting.

I also point out to members that this meeting is being webcast, which means that you will be watched for the full three hours of this meeting.

I declare an interest, having been an economic consultant in Scotland until last year. I do not see any clash with what the committee is discussing this afternoon, but that sets the record straight.
