Scottish Parliament Procedures Committee Tuesday 14 December 1999 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:01]

The Convener (Murray Tosh):

Good morning. Everybody who is likely to attend is now here. We have apologies from Michael Russell and Janis Hughes.

The sound seems to have a slightly peculiar quality this morning; it seems to be echoing—[Interruption.] That is better.

I would like to say to the staff, on behalf of the committee, that the Procedures Committee team did a very good job last week in compiling that enormous report for the Parliament. It was extremely well received, so congratulations and thanks to them. I also thank all the members who spoke in the debate and ensured that the adoption of standing orders was successfully concluded.
