Interests

I welcome everyone to the 27th meeting in 2001 of the Subordinate Legislation Committee.

I also welcome Murdo Fraser, the new committee member. In accordance with the Parliament's standing orders, I invite him to declare any interests that he considers relevant.

I have three interests to declare. First, I am employed as a part-time associate partner with the firm of Ketchen and Stevens in Edinburgh, for which I receive a remuneration of approximately £1,000 per month. Secondly, I own a half-share in a small flat in Edinburgh, which is worth approximately £50,000. The flat generates a rental income of £4,500 per annum. Thirdly, I am a member of the Law Society of Scotland.

Thank you. Now that the formality of the declaration is over, I welcome Murdo Fraser and say to him that I hope that he is as good as the man that he replaces—Mr Mundell was an ornament to the committee.

A hard act to follow.

I would say. Gosh, this guy knows how to put things nicely.
