Good morning and welcome to the first meeting of the Education and Skills Committee in 2018. I wish you all a very happy new year.
We will take two short items in public today before moving into private session. Item 1 is a declaration of interests. Mary Fee was appointed to the committee yesterday in place of Daniel Johnson. I warnly welcome Mary to the committee.
Did you say “warnly”, convener?
That was a Freudian slip—I meant to say “warmly”—although you never know.
I am sure that the committee would like to pass on its sincere thanks to Daniel Johnson for his contribution to the committee since the start of the parliamentary session. Daniel was a valued member of the committee and participated fully on regular occasions.
This item is to give Mary Fee the opportunity to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee’s remit.
Thank you, convener, for the very warm welcome. I look forward to working with all committee members. I have no relevant interests to declare and I refer members to my entry in the register of interests.
