Scottish Parliament Rural Affairs Committee Tuesday 12 September 2000 (Afternoon)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 14:01]

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I am sorry that we had to wait, but we were all here a little early, which is unusual for this committee. We have just heard the bells of the clock chime, so we know that it is 2 o'clock. We will take this opportunity to begin.

I have received apologies from Irene McGugan. Are there any other apologies? If not, we will continue.
