Interests

The Convener (Joan McAlpine)

Good morning and welcome to the 15th meeting in 2018 of the Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Relations Committee. I remind members and the public to turn off their mobile phones. Any members who are using electronic devices to access committee papers should please ensure that they are switched to silent mode.

Agenda item 1 is a declaration of interests. Alexander Stewart and Jamie Greene have been appointed to replace Jackson Carlaw and Rachael Hamilton respectively as members of the committee. I warmly welcome Alexander and Jamie to the committee and, on behalf of the committee, I extend our thanks to Jackson and Rachael for all the work that they did during their time on the committee.

I invite Alexander Stewart and Jamie Greene to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee.

I have no interests that are relevant to the committee. I very much look forward to being part of the committee.

Jamie Greene (West Scotland) (Con)

I pay tribute to my colleagues for the work that they did on the committee and I look forward to being on the committee. Given the external relations element of the committee’s work, I declare that I am a member of the cross-party group on building bridges with Israel and the cross-party group on Taiwan.

Thank you. You are both very welcome.
