Scottish Parliament Subordinate Legislation Committee Tuesday 18 November 2008
[The Convener opened the meeting at 14:15]
I welcome everyone to the 32nd meeting in 2008 of the Subordinate Legislation Committee. We have received apologies from Tom McCabe.
I remind everyone to turn off any mobile phones or BlackBerrys.
On behalf of the committee, I thank Gil Paterson, our deputy convener, who has left us to become convener of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee. I want to put on the record my thanks for his contribution because, when I was absent from time to time, he chaired the committee extremely well. Some might argue that he did it better.
Surely not.
Heaven forfend.
I have to make two welcomes. First, I welcome Bob Doris to the committee to replace Gil Paterson. We look forward to working with you. It is a lively committee and we get on rather well together. There is a lot to read.
I had noticed that already.
Yes, indeed. It will be a baptism of fire.
I also welcome Neil Ross who has come from the Scottish Government to join the legal team. We look forward to working with you.
