Interests

I welcome members of the press and public to the 18th meeting in 2005 of the Finance Committee. I apologise for the late start, which was due to a broadcasting problem. All mobile phones and pagers should be switched off. We have received apologies from the convener, who is in Fiji—it's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it. Ted Brocklebank is no longer a member of the committee, but I welcome our new member, Derek Brownlee, to his first meeting.

That moves us seamlessly to agenda item 1, which is a declaration of interests. I ask Derek Brownlee whether he has any relevant interests to declare.

I have none.
