Interests

Welcome to the 25th meeting in 2012 of the Health and Sport Committee. I remind everyone who has a mobile phone or BlackBerry to switch it off as they interfere with the sound system.

First, I welcome three new committee members—Mark McDonald, Aileen McLeod, and David Torrance—and invite each to declare interests that might be related to the committee’s remit.

I direct members to my entry in the register of interests. I believe that the only item that might relate to the committee’s remit is the fact that I am a patron of the Aberdeenshire charity Gordon Dementia Services SCIO.

After being a member of the Infrastructure and Capital Investment Committee and the European and External Relations Committee, I am delighted to join the Health and Sport Committee. I have no registrable interests to declare that are relevant to the committee’s remit.

I refer members to my register of interests. I am a member of the Scout Association.

I thank everyone for that.
