Good morning and welcome to the 24th meeting in 2025 of the Education, Children and Young People Committee.
Our first agenda item is a declaration of interests. I welcome Paul McLennan, who is replacing our colleague Joe FitzPatrick.?On behalf of the committee, I thank Mr FitzPatrick for his contribution to our work.
Because this is Mr McLennan’s first meeting as a committee member, I invite him to declare any relevant interests.
Thank you, convener. For a number of years, I was a member of the commission on school reform with Reform Scotland, which is now known as Enlighten, and I was a member of Reform Scotland’s advisory board. I was also a member of East Lothian Council from 2007 to 2022 and sat on various education committees. That is my declaration.
Excellent. Thank you very much. That concludes the short public part of our proceedings, and the committee will now move into private session to consider its other agenda items.
