Interests
I welcome everyone to the 13th meeting in 2009 of the Public Audit Committee. The first item on the agenda is a declaration of interests from Bill Kidd MSP, who has joined the committee. I welcome you, Bill.
Bill Kidd is replacing Andrew Welsh, who has served on the committee since the Parliament was created, 10 years ago. He is one of the few members of the Parliament who has served continuously on any committee for a significant length of time. For Andrew, it is clearly a break of some significance and we record our thanks for the work that he has done over the years. He has shown a specific interest in the work of the committee and has made a number of extremely useful contributions and recommendations. I know that he has a full workload on the Finance Committee, but we will miss his contributions in the committee and we wish him well for the future.
Hear, hear.
I invite Bill Kidd to declare any relevant interests.
I have no relevant interests to declare at the moment.
