Interests
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the 32nd meeting in 2006 of the Justice 2 Committee. I remind everyone present to switch off their mobile phones, pagers, BlackBerrys and anything else that might interfere with the sound and recording system.
I welcome our advisers to the committee, Fergus McNeill and Susan Wiltshire, and say how welcome it is that pupils from Greenfaulds high school who are doing an advanced higher on justice matters are here to observe our proceedings. We are delighted that young people are coming to watch the Parliament in action. I apologise for the slight delay in starting—we had some matters of business to attend to.
I turn to agenda item 1. Michael Matheson has been appointed to the committee in place of Stewart Maxwell. As this is the first meeting that he has attended, I invite Michael Matheson to declare any interests.
I have nothing to declare.
I welcome you to the committee and hope that you will carry on the work of your predecessor, who played a valuable role.
