Scottish Parliament Enterprise and Lifelong Learning Committee Wednesday 24 January 2001 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:04]
Today the committee will deal primarily with the new economy inquiry. I have apologies from Duncan Hamilton MSP, who will be about 20 minutes late, and from David Mundell MSP. He had hoped to be here, but, unfortunately, his daughter has unexpectedly been taken into hospital.
I extend a welcome to Ian Ritchie, the special adviser to the committee on the new economy inquiry. Before we start formally, I remind members of the visit from the Northern Ireland Assembly's Enterprise, Trade and Investment Committee immediately after our meeting finishes, at about 1 o'clock. We expect to meet here for lunch. I remind members of that, because we would like a reasonable turnout.
