Interests

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the 19th meeting in 2020 of the Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Affairs Committee. This is our 10th virtual meeting.

We have received apologies from Kenneth Gibson MSP, Ross Greer MSP and Dean Lockhart MSP. However, I am pleased to be able to welcome Rachael Hamilton MSP as a substitute for Dean Lockhart. I ask Rachael Hamilton to declare any interests that are relevant to the remit of the committee.

I draw members’ attention to my entry in the register of interests. I have an interest in a small hospitality business in the Scottish Borders.

For clarity, I draw attention to my declaration of interests. I am the chair of a small heritage charity that has received funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
