Interests

Good morning and welcome to the first meeting in 2018 of the Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Relations Committee. I remind members of the public to turn off their mobile phones. Will committee members who are using electronic devices to access committee papers please ensure that they are switched to silent?

The first item on the agenda is a declaration of interests. On Wednesday, Claire Baker was appointed to the committee to replace Lewis Macdonald. I warmly welcome Claire to the committee. I am sure that the committee will want to join me in thanking Lewis Macdonald for his contribution to the committee as deputy convener since the start of this parliamentary session.

I invite Claire Baker to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee’s remit.

Thank you, convener. I do not have any relevant interests to declare.
