Interests
Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to the 16th meeting in 2009 of the Public Petitions Committee. All electronic devices should be switched off in case they interfere with the broadcasting mechanisms. We have a full agenda today, with a number of people speaking to the committee.
Agenda item 1 is a declaration of interests. I welcome Rhona Brankin, who is a new member of the committee. In accordance with section 3 of the "Code of Conduct for Members of the Scottish Parliament", I invite her to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee's remit.
I refer members to my Scottish Parliament declaration of interests.
Thank you.
I put on record our appreciation of Marlyn Glen's contribution to our work and wish her well in her continuing work with the Equal Opportunities Committee.
