Scottish Parliament Audit Committee Tuesday 19 September 2000 (Afternoon)

[The Deputy Convener opened the meeting in private at 13:45]

Meeting continued in public.

Welcome to the 13th meeting this year of the Audit Committee. I ask members of the committee and members of the public to ensure that all pagers and mobile phones are turned off.

Before making some opening remarks, I would like to welcome Karen Whitefield to the Audit Committee. She has replaced Lewis Macdonald. I also welcome Linda Fabiani as a guest of the committee—I think for the first time. I like to think that her presence is due to her tremendous interest in the work of the committee rather than just an interest in today's subject matter.
