Scottish Parliament Equal Opportunities Committee Tuesday 14 December 1999 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:10]

I am sorry about the late start. I had some difficulty getting here because of the weather. Three members of the committee have not arrived yet. They are probably having the same problem. Rowena Arshad from the Centre for Education for Racial Equality in Scotland has not arrived yet either, but she is on her way and should arrive shortly. She has said that she does not mind Dharmendra Kanani from the Commission for Racial Equality making a start before she arrives.

Welcome again, Dharmendra. Dharmendra is here to give evidence on the Scottish Executive's consultation document "Improving our Schools".
