Scottish Parliament Finance Committee Tuesday 20 June 2000 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:03]

I call this meeting of the Finance Committee to order and I issue the usual reminder about mobile phones and pagers.

Apologies have been submitted on behalf of Elaine Thomson. I am not sure whether it is something to do with the committee, but I injured my back a month ago and Elaine has now done the same.

It is the weight of office.

Elaine Thomson is in some pain, and has had to submit an apology. I am sorry to hear that. Richard Simpson and George Lyon have also given their apologies—I do not know what they have done, but they are not able to be here.
