The Convener (Karen Gillon):

I call this meeting of the Education, Culture and Sport Committee to order. We are in public session and I ask everyone to ensure that all mobile phones and pagers are switched off.

We have received apologies from Irene McGugan, Mike Russell and Brian Monteith. I invite members to declare whether they are present as substitutes.

I am present as a substitute for the Scottish National Party.

Thank you and welcome to the committee.
