Interests

Good morning. I welcome you all to the first meeting in 2012 of the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee. I welcome all committee members—a happy new year to you all—as well as our officials, staff from the official report and the Scottish Parliament information centre, and our witnesses. We will shortly be considering the Land Registration etc (Scotland) Bill. I remind members and all others present to turn off mobile phones and other electronic devices.

I am pleased to welcome a new member to the committee: John Park. I pay a brief tribute to Anne McTaggart, who was with the committee from the start of the parliamentary session and contributed to its work. I am sure that we will all miss her and wish her well in her move to pastures new.

I invite John Park to declare any relevant interests.

I have no relevant interests for the committee.

Thank you—it is good to have you on board.
