Scottish ParliamentSubordinate Legislation CommitteeTuesday 28 February 2006 The Convener opened the meeting at 10:31 I welcome members to the seventh meeting in 2006 of the Subordinate Legislation Committee. I also welcome Andy Proudfoot, a new member of our clerking team. This is our last meeting with Ruth Cooper for a while and I am sure that we all wish her well in the next weeks and perhaps months in getting to grips with what I am sure will be the happy new member of her family.I have received apologies from Adam Ingram, Gordon Jackson, Stewart Maxwell and Jamie Stone.
