Interests
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I welcome you all to this meeting of the Public Petitions Committee and remind everyone to switch off mobile phones and electronic devices, as they interfere with our sound system.
I welcome Jackson Carlaw to the committee. He and I had the joy of serving on the Forth Crossing Bill Committee. I do not know what we did to deserve that, but I am very pleased to see him with us today. He is replacing Nanette Milne. I record the committee’s thanks to Nanette for all the work that she has done in this and the previous session.
Agenda item 1 is a declaration of interests by Jackson Carlaw. In accordance with section 3 of the “Code of Conduct for Members of the Scottish Parliament”, I invite Mr Carlaw to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee’s remit.
I am happy to refer members to the register of interests. I have nothing to add to what it says.
Thank you for that.
