Scottish Parliament Transport and the Environment Committee Wednesday 17 January 2001 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting in private at 09:32]
Meeting continued in public.
I welcome everybody to the first meeting in 2001 of the Transport and the Environment Committee and wish you all a happy new year—the new year seems some time ago now but, none the less, this is our first meeting of the year.
The committee has a number of new members. I welcome them to what I hope will be an enjoyable, interesting and successful number of years on the Transport and the Environment Committee.
I also thank members for the kind remarks that they made during the stage 3 debate on the Transport (Scotland) Bill, when I was off with the flu. I notice from the Official Report that a number of members wished me a speedy recovery.
We await the arrival of Des McNulty and Murray Tosh, who have not yet been able to join us, although we have received no apologies.
