Interests

The Convener (Duncan McNeil):

Good morning. I welcome everyone back from the recess as we head into the 21st meeting in 2008 of the Local Government and Communities Committee. I remind everyone to switch off their mobile phones and BlackBerrys. I have received an apology from Patricia Ferguson, who cannot be with us today.

Under agenda item 1, I welcome to the committee John Wilson MSP, and invite him to declare any relevant interests.

John Wilson (Central Scotland) (SNP):

Thank you for your welcome to the committee.

I refer members to the register of members' interests on the parliamentary website and draw particular attention to my position as an elected member of North Lanarkshire Council. I look forward to being on the committee.

The Convener:

Thank you, John. We welcome you and I am sure that your experience will make a good contribution to the committee.

At this point, we should record our thanks to Kenneth Gibson, who previously served as the deputy convener. His contributions were always interesting.
