Interests

Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the seventh meeting in 2012 of the Local Government and Regeneration Committee. As usual, I ask everyone to ensure that their mobile phones and any other electronic devices are switched off.

We have received apologies from David Torrance, who is unable to attend. We welcome Jamie Hepburn, who is substituting for David. We also welcome James Dornan, the newest member of the committee. Item 1 is the declaration of interests. I invite James Dornan to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee.

All my interests have been declared previously, but I put on the record that I am a councillor on Glasgow City Council.

I give my usual declaration that I am still a member of Aberdeen City Council. Also, I am still a member of Grampian joint police board.

I give my usual declaration that I am still a councillor on North Lanarkshire Council. I have had a working relationship with Gavin Whitefield for a number of years.

I am still an elected member of Glasgow City Council.
