Scottish Parliament Standards Committee Wednesday 3 May 2000 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 09:31]

Good morning, and welcome to the eighth meeting this year of the Standards Committee. I have received apologies from Karen Gillon, who cannot be with us this morning.

Before we begin, and following our consideration of the complaint against Tricia Marwick, which we discussed at our previous meeting, I want to confirm to members that I wrote to Mrs Bell on 6 April to inform her of our decision that there is no evidence that Tricia had breached the terms of the code of conduct.
