Scottish Parliament Finance Committee Tuesday 31 October 2000 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:03]
I call the meeting to order. Please switch off mobile phones and set pagers to buzz.
We have received apologies from Keith Raffan. As colleagues might know, he is not very well and is not due to return until the week commencing 20 November. On members' behalf, I suggest that the clerks send Keith a message containing good wishes for a quick and full recovery—I do not know whether a card would be appropriate.
There are also apologies from Andrew Wilson. We have received notification from two of our members who are in transit but have been delayed—Richard Simpson and Elaine Thomson are victims of the traffic difficulties that have resulted from the extreme weather.
Does the committee agree to consider agenda items 6 and 7 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
