Interests

The Convener (David Stewart)

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I welcome you to this meeting of the Public Petitions Committee. As always, I ask everyone to switch off mobile phones and electronic devices, as they interfere with our sound system. I warmly welcome to the committee Chic Brodie and Richard Lyle, who was a member of the committee at the start of the session. They are replacing Sandra White and Mark McDonald.

Agenda item 1 is declarations of interests. In accordance with section 3 of the code of conduct, I invite Chic Brodie to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee’s remit.

I have no interests that are relevant to the committee.

Does Richard Lyle wish to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee’s remit?

I have no known interests that are relevant to the committee.

I thank both of you.
