I welcome committee members to the 33rd meeting in 2004 of the Subordinate Legislation Committee. Adam Ingram has submitted his apologies today, and we welcome Stewart Stevenson as the SNP substitute for Stewart Maxwell, who is away at the moment. I invite Stewart Stevenson to declare any relevant interests.
I draw attention to my entry in the register of interests, which makes a number of statements under the "miscellaneous" heading that could touch from time to time on the business of the committee. Today, I draw attention to my ownership of a small amount of agricultural land, as that registered interest could be held to be relevant to some of the instruments that will be discussed under item 5.
