Interests

The Deputy Convener (Gil Paterson):

I welcome members to the sixth meeting of the Subordinate Legislation Committee this session. We have received apologies from Jamie Stone, Jackson Carlaw and John Park. I ask members to turn off their mobile phones.

Agenda item 1 is a declaration of interests. I welcome Richard Baker to the committee—I hope that you enjoy your membership.

Thank you, convener. I am sure I will.

Do you have any interests that you would like to declare?

I do not think so. I am a member of the trade union Amicus, although I do not think that that will cause any conflict here.

The Deputy Convener:

Thank you. I put on the record our thanks to Richard Simpson. Although the new session means that the committee has been meeting for only a short time, we have all already been impressed by Richard's work and scrutiny. I only wish that I could do the same, to be frank. I am sorry that he has moved on and we wish him well.
