Interests

Dr Turner:

We must declare our interests—I shall begin. I have a part-time job at the University of Glasgow as a vocational studies tutor. I work half a morning a week, on Wednesdays, and my earnings fall into the bracket of £1,001 to £5,000 per annum. I intend to submit my resignation for the post because it is difficult to do that job and to travel to and from Parliament. Under the heading "Miscellaneous", I mention that the Stobhill campaign paid £3,225.51 towards the expenses for my election campaign.

I am a patron of Scottish HART—Heart at Risk Testing—which is a Borders-based charity that considers the causes and prevention of cardiomyopathy. The position is unpaid.

I am a member of Unison, which represents health service employees and which made a donation of £1,675 to my election fund.

I have no interests to declare.

I have no registrable interests, but I am a member of T&G Scotland, which made a donation of £750 to my election campaign.

I have no registrable interests.

Mr David Davidson (North East Scotland) (Con):

My interests are in the register of interests. I highlight the fact that, although I am a registered pharmacist, I do not practise in any shape or form and I no longer have a connection with any pharmaceutical company. The directorships that I hold are unremunerated. For the record, the companies of which I am a director and which were involved with pharmacy are no longer involved with it.

Are those all your registrable interests?

Mr Davidson:

I have a list of them, if you want me to go through them. I hold unremunerated directorships of Carse Ltd, which is a holding company, Earlston Ltd, which is an agricultural company, and the Scottish Parliament and Business Exchange. I am a member of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, but did not draw down money from its parliamentary fund for my election campaign. I am a member of the National Farmers Union Scotland and an unremunerated member of the advisory group to the Scottish centre of tourism at the Robert Gordon University. I am also an unremunerated postgraduate course adviser to the school of public administration and law at the Robert Gordon University.
