Interests

I open the 19th meeting in 2008 of the Education, Lifelong Learning and Culture Committee. I take this opportunity to welcome everyone back after the summer recess. I hope that you all had a relaxing and enjoyable summer.

The first agenda item is declarations of interests. I welcome Kenneth Gibson as a new member of the committee. I am delighted that he is joining us. Mr Gibson, do you have any interests that you wish to declare?

I have no interests to declare, convener. Thank you for your welcome to the committee.

We have also been joined by Bill Kidd as a substitute member for Christina McKelvie, who is unable to attend the committee. Mr Kidd, do you have any interests to declare?

No, thank you. I have no relevant interests to declare.

Thank you.
