Interests

I thank everyone for their attendance at the 18th meeting of the Public Petitions Committee this year. I ask that all mobile phones and electronic devices are switched off, because they can interfere with our broadcasting system.

I welcome to the public gallery a number of petitioners whose petitions the committee discussed at an external meeting.

We have a substitute member with us because of a committee member's ill health. I ask Bill Wilson to declare any interests.

I have nothing to add to my entry in the register of members' interests.

Thank you, and welcome to the meeting. I hope that you will find going through the petitions that are in front of us beneficial and interesting.
