Interests

Jean Urquhart (Highlands and Islands) (Ind)

Good morning and welcome to the first meeting of the National Galleries of Scotland Bill Committee. I remind all those present, including members, that mobile phones and BlackBerrys should be turned off completely—she says turning her own off. However, committee members may use tablets for committee business as the meeting papers are now provided in digital format.

The first item of business on our agenda is the declaration of interests and of impartiality. In accordance with section 3 of the code of conduct, I invite members to declare any interests relevant to the remit of the committee. I remind them that declarations should be brief but sufficiently detailed to make clear to any listener the nature of the interest.

In accordance with rule 9A.5.4A of the standing orders, I invite members to declare that they will act impartially and will base decisions solely on the evidence and information provided to the committee.

I declare that I have no interests and that I will act impartially, in my capacity as a member of the National Galleries of Scotland Bill Committee, and will base decisions solely on the evidence and information provided to the committee.

Fiona McLeod (Strathkelvin and Bearsden) (SNP)

I have no relevant interests to declare. I declare that I will act impartially, in my capacity as a member of the National Galleries of Scotland Bill Committee, and will base decisions solely on the evidence and information provided to the committee.

Anne McTaggart (Glasgow) (Lab)

I have no interests to declare. I declare that I will act impartially, in my capacity as a member of the National Galleries of Scotland Bill Committee, and will base decisions solely on the evidence and information provided to the committee.
