Scottish Parliament Rural Development Committee Tuesday 17 September 2002 (Afternoon)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 14:03]

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to this meeting of the Rural Development Committee. I ask—as I always do—everyone to ensure that their mobile phones are turned off.

We have received apologies from Irene Oldfather and Alasdair Morrison. I was advised that two other members were going to be late, but both have just arrived, so that is all right.
