Interests

I wish you a very good morning, and welcome you to the 19th meeting of the Social Justice and Social Security Committee in 2023. We have received apologies from Katy Clark.

We have had a change in committee membership. I welcome to the committee Bob Doris, who replaces Gordon MacDonald, and Roz McCall, who replaces Miles Briggs. I thank Gordon and Miles for their valued contributions to the committee.

Our first item of business is to invite Bob Doris and Roz McCall to declare any relevant interests.

Thank you, convener. It is great to be back on the committee. I have no relevant interests to declare, but, as always, I invite those who wish to do so to look at my register of interests.

Thank you very much. This is my first committee and I am glad to be here. Thank you for the warm welcome. I, too, have no interests to declare, but I am happy for anyone to look at my register of interests, if they want to.
