Scottish Parliament Rural Development Committee Tuesday 21 January 2003 (Afternoon)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 14:03]

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. We have a deal to get through this afternoon, so we will move straight to business. I welcome committee members, members of the public, and the Deputy Minister for Environment and Rural Development to this meeting of the Rural Development Committee. I issue my normal stricture that all mobile phones be turned off, please.
