Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the 17th meeting in 2014 of the Finance Committee. As usual, I ask everybody to make sure that their mobile phones are switched off or set not to make any kind of noise.
We have received apologies from the convener, and Annabelle Ewing is participating as committee substitute for him. I welcome Annabelle to the meeting; I think that this is your first attendance as a substitute at the Finance Committee, so you are very welcome. I invite you to declare any relevant interests that you may have.
I point to my entry in the register of interests. For the sake of completeness, I say that I am a member of the Law Society of Scotland and I hold a current practising certificate.
Thank you very much.
