Good morning. I welcome everybody to the 29th meeting in 2014 of the Education and Culture Committee. I remind everyone present that electronic devices should be switched off at all times, as they interfere with the broadcasting system.
Today, we will have our first evidence session on the British Sign Language (Scotland) Bill, so our meeting will be interpreted in British Sign Language. I welcome Shaurna Dickson and Paul Belmonte, who are our BSL interpreters—I hope that you have a pleasant time at the committee.
Our first item is to welcome to the committee Chic Brodie, who is our new member in place of Clare Adamson. I am sure that all members will join me in paying tribute to Clare, who was a member of the committee from the start of session 4 and was very assiduous. I wish her well on the new committees that she is moving to.
I invite Chic Brodie to declare any relevant registrable interests.
I have no relevant registrable interests.
Thank you very much.
