Chamber and committees

Procedures Committee, 22 Jun 1999

Meeting date: Tuesday, June 22, 1999

Interests

Donald Gorrie:

The first thing that I must do is enable all members to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee. I have a sparse register of interests; my membership of the Westminster Parliament, by which I am paid, presumably might bias me in matters of procedure in the Scottish Parliament, but I do not think that it will. Other than that, I have no relevant interests to register.

I invite members to say for the record whether they have any interests to declare.

I was caught up in the no, no campaign, so my declaration of interests form says no, no; no, no; no, no. I have no interests that are relevant, other than my salary.

I have no relevant interests that I am aware of.

I have no relevant interests of which I am aware.

It is very boring, but I have no interests to declare that I am aware of.

This is five in a row, I am afraid. I have no interests to declare that I can think of now.

Michael Russell (South of Scotland) (SNP):

I make six in a row in terms of the declaration of interests as registered, but as a member of the Parliamentary Bureau I have an interest in ensuring that the committee operates in such a way as to make the work of the Parliament more effective. That is one of the reasons why I am here.

We seem to have a clean bill of health.
