Scottish Parliament Finance Committee Tuesday 23 September 2003 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:02]
I open the seventh meeting of the Finance Committee in the second session of Parliament. I welcome the press and the public and I remind members and everybody else who is here to switch off all pagers and mobile phones.
We have received apologies from two members of the committee—Jeremy Purvis and Kate Maclean—who have been delayed, although we expect them to arrive fairly soon.
I welcome Margo MacDonald, who is not a member of the committee, but has asked to be in attendance at the meeting.
I have made myself at home; I hope that that is all right.
