Interests

Welcome to the 15th meeting in 2017 of the Public Petitions Committee. I remind members and others in the room to switch their phones and other devices to silent.

I welcome Michelle Ballantyne to her first meeting of the committee. Agenda item 1 is a declaration of interests. In accordance with the terms of the Interests of Members of the Scottish Parliament Act 2006, I invite Michelle to declare any interests relevant to the remit of the committee.

I just advise that I am still a sitting councillor on Scottish Borders Council.
