Scottish Parliament Social Inclusion, Housing and Voluntary Sector Committee Wednesday 27 October 1999 (Morning)
[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:02]
As usual, I start by welcoming everyone to the meeting. I want to give a particular welcome to members of the public, who are here showing an interest in the committee. Today we have a substantial agenda, so I will push on and take points as appropriate.
Before we move on to action points from our previous meeting, I have a point of clarification. At an earlier meeting, we took a decision that we would begin by dealing with housekeeping issues, and that that would be done in private. At the end of our previous meeting, I indicated that, given wider issues that are current, we needed some clarification of private, housekeeping issues. That is on the agenda for discussion today, and we will return to it. However, I think that it is appropriate that we should hold this meeting in public. Is that agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
We will clarify the other points later.
