Scottish Parliament Enterprise and Lifelong Learning Committee Wednesday 29 September 1999 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:03]
Good morning. I welcome members of the committee and members of the public to the meeting. All mobile phones should be switched off and all pagers switched to an appropriate setting, as mine now is.
Before I come to today's agenda, I draw members' attention to the note that the clerks have left on the table about the visit by members of the New South Wales Public Accounts Committee. Secondly, the chief executive of Cadence Design Systems, Ray Bingham, is visiting the Parliament this afternoon and will be in the visitors' gallery just before decision time. He has asked to meet me at 5.15, after close of business, in committee room 5, and any members who wish to join me there are very welcome. We will discuss Cadence's work and Project Alba, which is very important in Scotland's economic development.
