Interests

As on previous occasions when new members have joined the committee, I ask the new members whether they have any interests that they think are relevant to the committee's work and which they would like to declare.

I am a fellow of the Institute of Logistics and Transport. As the committee has an interest in the environment, I should also declare that I am a crofter.

I am sure that your insights will be most useful to our work.

I do not have any interests to declare, except that I might be married to a Friend of the Far North Line. That is not to question my marital status—I am not sure whether my husband ever sent away his membership application form.

He will know about it now, because he will read about it in the Official Report.

I am a member of the Transport Salaried Staff Association. Livingston constituency Labour party also has links with that association and with the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers. Although it is not a current interest, I should perhaps also mention that I worked in the rail industry for 13 years, most recently with Great North Eastern Railway.

With all that new experience being added, the committee has interesting times ahead.
