Interests

My first task is to ask members to declare their interests. I do not have any relevant interests to declare.

My only possible relevant interest is that I am a member of the Scottish Crofters Union, which is now the Scottish Crofting Foundation.

I have no relevant interests.

I declare that, as my entry in the register of members' interests states, I am a landowner and a farmer. For clarification, I specify that I am a dairy and cereal farmer. I also declare my membership of the National Farmers Union of Scotland and the Scottish Landowners Federation. Should other minor interests become relevant, I will declare them before we discuss the issue.

I am not sure that I have any relevant interests. I am a member of a couple of environmental organisations, such as WWF and Friends of the Earth Scotland, but that is all. I have no commercial interests.

I think that the only interest that I have to declare is that I am a member of the Scottish Crofting Foundation. However, if other relevant interests crop up, I will declare them before we debate the issue.

I declare two interests, both of which are in the formal register of members' interests: I am an individual member of Friends of the Earth Scotland and a chartered member of the Royal Town Planning Institute.

I have no registrable interests to declare.
