Scottish Parliament Education, Culture and Sport Committee Tuesday 23 October 2001 (Afternoon)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 13:31]

I call the meeting to order. The first matter that I will raise is the timing of papers arriving at members' homes. Some members have not received their papers and others received them only this morning. Can Martin Verity check that everything was done as usual? We usually receive them on Friday, or on Saturday at the latest.

I will be happy to investigate that. The papers went out on Thursday, but I will check with the internal systems to see whether there was a problem.

It creates a difficulty for the Scottish Ballet report, because I have not had a chance to read it properly.

I was going to suggest that we put that item on to next week's agenda because of the amount of evidence and the fact that members have not received it yet, or received it late.

We could deal with some aspects of the report; I would be happy to flag those up.

Yes. We could do that but it would be difficult to discuss the wording of the report, as we have not had time to read the draft report.

I agree.
