Interests

The Convener (Michael McMahon):

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the second meeting of the Public Petitions Committee in the second session of the Scottish Parliament. The first item on our agenda is a declaration of interests. Unfortunately, Sandra White was unable to attend our first meeting, but we still have to go through the formality of asking her to declare any interests.

I have no interests to declare other than what appears in the register of members' interests.

The Convener:

Colleagues, the petitioner who submitted petition PE618 is unable to attend this morning and has asked whether the petition can be deferred for another meeting. Do members agree that we should accept that request?

Members indicated agreement.

The Convener:

Christine Grahame would like to speak to petition PE628 but she is currently at the Health Committee, as is Helen Eadie. The suggestion is that we do not discuss that petition until she arrives. Are members happy for us to push it continually down the agenda until she can speak to it?

Members indicated agreement.
