Good morning and welcome to the first meeting of the Local Government and Communities Committee in 2011. As I usually do at this time, I remind members of the public and committee members to turn off all mobile phones and BlackBerrys.
It is always a challenge to find an interest to declare, but in this case I do have something of which I wish to make the committee aware. The most senior and longest-serving member of my parliamentary staff is a Mr James Millar, who is currently a councillor on Angus Council, where he serves as convener of the neighbourhood services committee, chairman of the licensing board and chairman of the Arbroath harbour joint consultative committee. I believe that it is appropriate that you are made aware of that interest in my close office.
Thank you.
