Interests
Good morning. As the oldest member of the committee, I have the privilege of being in the chair for the first couple of items on this morning’s agenda.
I welcome everyone to the first meeting of the City of Edinburgh Council (Portobello Park) Bill Committee and remind everyone present, including members, that mobile phones and BlackBerrys should be completely turned off, as they interfere with the sound system even when switched to silent. No apologies have been received and everyone is present.
The first agenda item is a declaration of interests and impartiality. In accordance with section 3 of the code of conduct, I invite members to declare any interests relevant to the committee’s remit and remind them that declarations should be brief but sufficiently detailed to make clear to listeners the nature of the interests. Moreover, in accordance with rule 9A.5.4A, I invite each member to declare that he or she will act impartially and base decisions solely on the evidence and information provided to the committee.
I will begin. I refer people to my entry in the register of interests and confirm that I have no relevant registrable interests to declare. I also declare that I will act impartially in my capacity as a member of the City of Edinburgh Council (Portobello Park) Bill Committee and will base decisions solely on the evidence and information provided to the committee.
