Interests

Mary Fee (West Scotland) (Lab)

Good morning and welcome to the first meeting of the Pow of Inchaffray Drainage Commission (Scotland) Bill Committee. I remind all those present, including members, that mobile phones should be turned off completely.

The first item on our agenda is the declaration of interests and impartiality. In accordance with section 3 of the “Code of Conduct for Members of the Scottish Parliament”, I invite members to declare any interests that are relevant to the remit of the committee. I remind members that declarations should be brief but sufficiently detailed to make clear to any listener the nature of the interest.

Then, in accordance with rule 9A.5.4A of the standing orders, I invite each member to declare that he or she will act impartially and will base decisions solely on the evidence and information provided to the committee.

I make my own declaration: I have no relevant interests to declare and refer members to my entry in the register of members’ interests. I also declare that I will act impartially in my capacity as a member of the Pow of Inchaffray Drainage Commission (Scotland) Bill Committee and will base decisions solely on the evidence and information that is provided to the committee.

Tom Arthur (Renfrewshire South) (SNP)

I have no relevant interests to declare, and I declare that I will act impartially in my capacity as a member of the Pow of Inchaffray Drainage Commission (Scotland) Bill Committee and will base decisions solely on the evidence and information that is provided to the committee.

Alison Harris (Central Scotland) (Con)

I, too, have no relevant interests to declare, and I declare that I will act impartially in my capacity as a member of the Pow of Inchaffray Drainage Commission (Scotland) Bill Committee and will base decisions solely on the evidence and information that is provided to the committee.

Thank you.
