Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the 11th meeting in 2014 of the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee. I welcome all members and witnesses—whom I will introduce shortly—and the guests who join us in the gallery. I remind everyone to please turn off, or at least to turn to silent, all mobile phones and other electronic devices, so that they do not interfere with the sound equipment.
Later in the meeting, we will be joined by an additional member—Bruce Crawford, who is the MSP for Stirling—for our agenda item on Bannockburn live.
We come to agenda item 1. I welcome Joan McAlpine, who is a new member of the committee, although she is a very familiar face, as she has been a substitute on the committee in the past. I also record the committee’s thanks to Christian Allard for the contribution that he made to the committee’s work over the months for which he was with us.
I invite Joan McAlpine to declare any relevant interests.
Thank you, convener.
I refer members to my entry in the register of members’ interests. In particular, I refer to the fact that I am employed by the Daily Record newspaper to write a weekly column.
Thank you very much.
