I formally open the meeting. I give a very warm welcome to everybody present and wish you a happy new year.
I remind everybody to switch off their mobile phones or at least make them inaudible.
We have received one apology: Drew Smith cannot manage to be at the meeting. However, Richard Baker is here. Are there any interests that you would like to declare, Richard?
I simply draw members’ attention to my entry in the register of members’ interests. I am a member of the Unite union and a former director of Better Together.
