Interests

Good morning and welcome to the 12th meeting in 2022 of the Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee. I ask all members to ensure that their mobile phones are on silent and that all notifications are turned off during the meeting.

Our substantive business for today involves consideration of two draft reports, both of which the committee previously agreed to consider in private. However, as two new committee members are attending for the first time, we are first required to meet in public so that they can declare any relevant interests. I welcome Marie McNair and Annie Wells to the committee. The first item on our agenda is for Marie and Annie to declare interests. I invite them to do so in turn.

Good morning, convener. I declare an interest as a serving member of West Dunbartonshire Council—for just a few weeks more.

Thank you, convener. I have nothing to declare.

I thank Marie and Annie for their declarations. I call Mark Griffin.

While we are meeting in public, I declare an interest in relation to item 3. I draw members’ attention to my entry in the register of members’ interests, as the owner of a private rented property in North Lanarkshire.

Thank you very much, Mark.

As that was our only public business today, I close the public part of the meeting.

10:31 Meeting continued in private until 10:41.
