Scottish Parliament Social Inclusion, Housing and Voluntary Sector Committee Wednesday 24 November 1999 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:04]

The Convener (Ms Margaret Curran):

I welcome everyone to the meeting. A couple of members have not yet arrived. Keith Raffan may join us at some point. Mike Watson passes on his apologies for not attending this morning's meeting; he was keen to hear the evidence, but he has been called to the Court of Session, as an interim interdict has been served concerning his member's bill—I hope that I have got the legal terminology right.

As members know, our meetings now have a standard format. We have a preliminary action point to deal with before we move on to the housing stock transfer evidence.
