Interests

Good morning, and welcome to the ninth meeting in 2023 of the COVID-19 Recovery Committee.

As members will be aware, Siobhian Brown has resigned as our convener and member of the committee following her appointment as Minister for Victims and Community Safety. For that reason, I will chair this part of the meeting in my role as deputy convener.

I put on record the committee’s thanks to Siobhian and offer her our congratulations on her appointment. We wish her well in her new role.

We have a new committee member: Stuart McMillan. We have received apologies from him this morning so, instead, we have Ash Regan, who has been appointed as a substitute member. Welcome, Ash.

Ash joins us online, as does Alex Rowley.

Under agenda item 1, I invite Ash to declare any registrable interests that are relevant to the committee’s remit.

Good morning. I have no relevant interests to declare.

Thank you, Ash.
