The first task that I am required to perform is to ask members to declare any interests that might impinge on their work on the committee. Members have been given a note of what might be considered an interest or item that they might wish to declare to the committee.
Apart from what is in the register of interests, my membership of the Transport and General Workers Union and of Unison might be considered a relevant interest, should they ever present a petition.
I have nothing to declare beyond what I have already declared in the register of interests. My membership of the Transport and General Workers Union could also impinge. I am also a member of the Chartered Institute of Housing.
I have nothing to declare further than that which is in the register, which includes my membership of Amicus MSF.
I am a member of Unison, which I hope will help my participation rather than hinder it. I am a registered midwife, now resigned, from North Glasgow University Hospitals NHS Trust, which might be relevant.
Everything is in the register of interests.
Likewise, I have nothing to declare beyond what is in the register, but I should mention that I am a member of the GMB union.
I have nothing to declare in particular beyond what is in the members' register. However, I should declare that, like everyone else, I am a member of a union—I am a member of the National Farmers Union of Scotland. I am also the chairman of a hill sheep and native woodland advisory project, which takes place in the Highlands and is under the auspices of the Scottish Agricultural College.
I omitted to ask members to ensure that all mobile phones are switched off.
