Interests

The Convener (John Finnie)

Madainn mhath, a h-uile duine, agus fàilte. Good morning, and welcome to the 12th meeting in 2020 of the Justice Sub-Committee on Policing. We have no apologies.

Agenda item 1 is a declaration of interests. Before we begin that, I pay tribute to James Kelly for all his hard work on the sub-committee and I wish him well in any new role that he takes on. I am pleased to welcome Rhoda Grant as a new member of the sub-committee, and I invite her to declare any relevant interests.

Rhoda Grant (Highlands and Islands) (Lab)

I do not have any relevant interests as such, but I refer people to my entry in the register of members’ interests. Just for information, I am a member of Unison and the Co-operative Party and I have an intern from Christian Action Research and Education.

The Convener

I have an interest to declare before we move on. In 2011, I was briefly a member of the police appeals tribunal. My election to Parliament meant that I could not proceed with the case. Albeit that we will not be discussing any historical cases or any live cases, I thought that I would place that on the record.
