Scottish Parliament Enterprise and Lifelong Learning Committee Wednesday 30 May 2001 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 09:40]
I welcome everyone to the 17th meeting in 2001 of the Enterprise and Lifelong Learning Committee. I give a special welcome to Sir William Stewart, who is our first witness this morning.
I intimate apologies from Ken Macintosh, whose wife is in labour. Given that there are only eight days to go until the election, that seems rather appropriate. I am sure that the committee will want to join me in wishing Ken and his wife all the best over the next whatever number of hours it takes—rather him than me.
I also welcome David Davidson to the meeting this morning.
The first item on the agenda is to consider whether to take item 4—the appointment of an adviser for our inquiry into teaching and research funding—in private. Can I take it that that is agreed by the committee?
Members indicated agreement.
