Interests

The Convener (Ms Margo MacDonald):

I welcome everyone to the 11th meeting of the Subordinate Legislation Committee. I welcome also our new member, Brian Fitzpatrick, who has taken Bristow Muldoon's place.

I have received a letter of resignation from Bristow and I would not want to welcome Brian to the committee fully without first, on behalf of the committee, thanking Bristow for his work. He was a real asset. I hope that you will be good, Brian, because we do not want to miss Bristow too much—he was excellent. I am sure that you show promise of filling his shoes more than adequately.

Do you have any interests to declare?

Brian Fitzpatrick (Strathkelvin and Bearsden) (Lab):

I am delighted by the warmth of that welcome, convener. I refer to my entry in the register of interests, and in particular my declaration of membership of Amicus—formerly the Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Union—and of the Faculty of Advocates.

I am satisfied with that.
