Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. In opening the meeting, I remind everyone to switch off their mobile phones. There are no apologies for absence as there is a full turnout. In fact, we have an additional member, to whom agenda item 1 relates. Claire Baker MSP is the newly appointed Labour Party substitute on the committee and is attending in place of Bill Butler MSP for items relating to the Damages (Scotland) Bill. This is her first attendance as a substitute, so I welcome her and invite her to declare any relevant interests.
I have no relevant interests to declare.
Thank you.
