Interests

The Convener (Stewart Maxwell)

Good morning, everybody. I welcome you all to the 22nd meeting of the Education and Culture Committee in 2013. I remind all present that all electronic devices, particularly mobile phones, should be switched off at all times, because they interfere with the sound system.

We have made a slight change to the running order today, in that we will start by inviting Jayne Baxter to declare any relevant interests. Jayne, have you any relevant registrable interests to declare?

I am an elected member of Fife Council and a member of Unite the Union.

The Convener

Thank you very much for that, and welcome from all the committee. I am glad that you have joined us at this very important stage in the examination of this particularly important bill and the latter stage of our inquiry on taking children into care. A welcome from the whole committee, Jayne; I am sure that you will enjoy your time here.
