Interests
Good afternoon and welcome to the Finance Committee's 19th meeting in 2008 in the third session of the Scottish Parliament. I ask all members, witnesses and members of the public to ensure that all pagers and mobile phones are switched off.
As members will be aware, the recent reshuffling of the Liberal Democrat parliamentary portfolios has meant that Liam McArthur has moved to the Rural Affairs and Environment Committee. I thank him for his thoughtful and measured contributions to our committee. We wish him well in his new role.
Liam McArthur's replacement is Jeremy Purvis, whom I welcome back to the committee—he was a previously a member of the Finance Committee in session 2. I am required to ask him whether he has any relevant interests to declare.
I have no relevant interests to declare.
