Housing (Scotland) Bill (Witness Expenses)
I open the 11th meeting in 2005 of the Communities Committee and remind all of those present that mobile phones should be turned off.
Item 1 on today's agenda relates to witness expenses associated with our scrutiny of the Housing (Scotland) Bill. The committee is invited to delegate to the convener the responsibility for considering any witness expense claims received during its consideration of the bill, in accordance with the procedures outlined in the paper that has been circulated. Do members have any comments?
No.
Do members agree to the proposal?
Members indicated agreement.
I will therefore consider any witness expenses as they occur.
Before we move on, it is incumbent on me to declare an interest as a member of the Law Society of Scotland, although I no longer practise as a solicitor.
