Scottish Parliament Justice 1 Committee Wednesday 16 May 2001 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 09:02]

The Convener (Alasdair Morgan):

I remind members to turn off their mobile phones and pagers. I also remind members that stage 3 of the Convention Rights (Compliance) (Scotland) Bill is now set for 30 May and that amendments can be lodged until 4 pm on 23 May.

I welcome those who are attending the meeting as part of the Parliament's staff open week. Members of departments in the Parliament have been invited to go round and see the work of the committees. I hope that they enjoy the meeting. I am sorry that the committee members appear to be anonymous at the moment, but we shall try to ensure that nameplates are put in place as soon as possible.
