Good morning and welcome to the second meeting in 2015 of the Finance Committee of the Scottish Parliament. I remind everyone present to please turn off any mobile phones, tablets or other electronic devices.
I welcome to the meeting and indeed to the committee our new member, Richard Baker, who has replaced his colleague Michael McMahon. I invite Richard to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee’s remit.
Thank you, convener. I simply draw members’ attention to my entry in the register of interests as a member of Unite the union.
Thank you for that. I remind Richard that the initiation ceremony will be at midnight tonight. [Laughter.]
I am looking forward to that—super. I will just check my diary with Claire, but that should be fine.
