Scottish Parliament Enterprise and Lifelong Learning Committee Wednesday 22 January 2003 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:04]
We are a few minutes late. Now that we have a quorum, I suggest that we start the meeting.
On item 2, the Minister for Enterprise, Transport and Lifelong Learning is at a Cabinet meeting this morning and will not be able to join us until
11.30 am. I imagine that, as a result, we will have a fairly substantial break-out between the first and second items. I ask the members who are present to return for item 2 to ensure that we have a quorum. After all, it would be a bit embarrassing if the minister turned up and not enough committee members were present to continue with the meeting.
I have received apologies from Tavish Scott, Rhona Brankin, Brian Fitzpatrick and Andrew Wilson. David Mundell is tied up with the Transport and the Environment Committee. The other members who have not yet arrived might join us later.
