Scottish Parliament Finance Committee Tuesday 13 March 2001 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:07]

The Convener (Mike Watson):

Good morning. I call this meeting of the Finance Committee to order. I remind everybody that mobile phones should be switched off and that pagers should be switched to vibrate—or whatever else they do that does not involve a ring.

We have received apologies from Donald Gorrie, who is attending to business at Westminster; from Elaine Thomson, who has not yet shaken off the flu, and from Adam Ingram. We understand that Richard Simpson will be coming.

Does the committee agree to take agenda items 7, 8 and 9 in private?

Members indicated agreement.
