Scottish Parliament Rural Affairs Committee Monday 19 June 2000 (Afternoon)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 13:34]

Ladies and gentlemen, it is a pleasure to welcome you here once again, to what I sincerely hope will be the last meeting at which we deal with stage 2 of the National Parks (Scotland) Bill.

I remind members that we have a full agenda today, which includes several items that we have mentioned before. There are two items of subordinate legislation to deal with under item 2, and a petition under item 3. Item 4 is consideration of our approach to the gathering of evidence, at tomorrow's meeting, on our inquiry into changing employment patterns in rural Scotland. I remind members that we have agreed to take item 4 in private.
