Scottish Parliament Standards Committee Friday 8 October 1999 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 09:33]

The Convener (Mr Mike Rumbles):

Good morning. I welcome you all to this committee meeting and I would particularly like to welcome Richard Simpson to the committee. Members may be aware that Patricia Ferguson has decided to stand aside from the committee for the time being, to avoid any possible conflict of interest in connection with our current business.

I now invite Dr Richard Simpson to make a declaration of interests.

I have no interests to declare.
