Interests
Good afternoon and welcome to the 23rd meeting of the Finance Committee in 2009, in the third session of the Scottish Parliament.
We have received apologies from Derek Brownlee. I welcome Gavin Brown, who is attending as the Conservative party substitute. As this is the first meeting that Gavin Brown has attended in this capacity, I ask him if he has any relevant interests to declare.
I have nothing to declare.
Thank you.
I congratulate Derek Brownlee and his wife on the birth of their daughter, weighing 7lb 1oz. I am happy to report that mother and daughter are doing fine, so that is some good news to start with.
I ask members, witnesses and the public to turn off their mobile phones and pagers.
