Scottish Parliament Finance Committee Tuesday 28 October 2003 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:05]

I welcome the press and the public to the 10th meeting of the Finance Committee in the second session of the Parliament and I remind people that they should switch off their pagers and mobile phones. Wendy Alexander has sent apologies; she will be unable to attend the whole meeting, as she has other commitments.

Members should have, as well as the papers that they received earlier, additional papers that were sent by e-mail on Friday and Monday. Those include Donald MacRae's submission in relation to the 2004-05 budget, Paul Grice's letter in relation to Holyrood and correspondence from the Public Petitions Committee and from Allan Wilson about petition PE670.
