Scottish Parliament Thursday 27 January 2000

[THE PRESIDING OFFICER opened the meeting at 09:30]

The Presiding Officer (Sir David Steel):

Good morning, everybody. Today, we have an all-day debate on the Executive's proposals on wider access to further and higher education. It will be interrupted only by question time this afternoon.

Members who wish to speak in the debate—this morning or this afternoon—should press their buttons now, so that while the minister is speaking we can calculate what length members' speeches should be.
