Interests
Good morning. I welcome everyone to the 32nd meeting in 2020 of the Local Government and Communities Committee. Please ensure that all mobile phones are on silent.
I remind members that, as usual, broadcasting staff will operate your camera and microphone, so please allow a short pause after being called on to speak to allow them to do so.
Before we start, I would like to welcome Gordon MacDonald to the committee. Gordon has replaced Gail Ross. On behalf of all the committee members, I would like to thank Gail for all her work and to wish her well on her appointment to the Public Audit and Post-legislative Scrutiny Committee.
On his first appearance as a committee substitute last week, Gordon declared that he had no relevant interests, but I believe that he has something that he would like to add, so I ask him to update his relevant interests.
Further to my previous declaration of interests, I apologise to the committee for omitting to mention that my wife is a local government councillor.
Thank you very much, Gordon.
I remind Gordon and all other members to declare any relevant interests as and when they arise at future committee meetings.
