Welcome to the seventh meeting in 2009 of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee. We have received apologies from Dave Thompson and Robert Brown. I welcome Alasdair Morgan. I hope that your attendance at the committee will be of benefit to you—and to us.
I am sure that it will be as stimulating as it always is.

Members indicated agreement.
