Interests

Welcome to the fourth meeting of the Subordinate Legislation Committee in the third session of the Parliament, and welcome to our new member, Helen Eadie. We have received apologies from John Park and Gil Paterson, both of whom are on a European and External Relations Committee visit to Brussels. In place of Gil Paterson, we are joined by Bob Doris, whom I welcome.

I have switched off my mobile phone and ask members please to do the same.

Given that this is Helen Eadie's first meeting, I ask her to declare any interests that she feels are of importance in relation to the remit of the committee.

Thank you for your welcome, convener. I direct members to my declaration in the Scottish Parliament's register of members' interests.

It might be prudent for Bob Doris to declare his interests, just to cover himself.

I have nothing to declare other than what has been laid before Parliament in my entry in the register of members' interests.
