Scottish Parliament Audit Committee Tuesday 21 January 2003 (Afternoon)

[The Convener opened the meeting in private at 14:00]

Meeting continued in public.

I wish everybody a good afternoon and welcome them to the second meeting in 2003 of the Audit Committee. I make the usual announcement about mobile phones and pagers: please switch them off. I have received no apologies and I believe that Lloyd Quinan, who has been delayed, is on his way. The committee began the meeting in private today to allow us to consider lines of questioning for our witnesses under agenda item 4. That was agreed at our last meeting and is in line with the committee's standard practice.
