Scottish Parliament Public Petitions Committee Tuesday 26 February 2002 (Morning)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:07]

The Convener (Mr John McAllion):

I welcome everyone to the fourth meeting in 2002 of the Public Petitions Committee. We have received apologies from Rhoda Grant, Helen Eadie and Winnie Ewing. I am delighted to say that Dorothy-Grace Elder has made it here on time, which must be a first.

Thanks to ScotRail.

We also welcome Tavish Scott, Jamie McGrigor, John Scott and Irene McGugan—sorry, Fiona McLeod.

It happens all the time, John.

I should be shot, I really should. Sorry about that. The members are here to speak to various petitions.
