Scottish Parliament Rural Development Committee Tuesday 5 November 2002 (Afternoon)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 14:02]

Good afternoon and welcome to this meeting of the Rural Development Committee. I remind everybody to switch off their mobile phones.

We have received apologies from Irene Oldfather, Elaine Smith, who is unwell, Alasdair Morrison, Stewart Stevenson and Jamie McGrigor, all of whom are members of the committee. The latter three members are involved in stage 2 of the Land Reform (Scotland) Bill in the Justice 2 Committee, but I hope that they will join us later.
