Interests

The Convener (Kenneth Gibson)

Good morning, and welcome to the first meeting in 2026 of the Finance and Public Administration Committee. I wish you all a happy new year.

I am pleased to welcome Patrick Harvie as a returning member to the committee. Before I invite him to declare any interests, I would like to record our thanks to Ross Greer for all his hard work on the committee over the past four and a half years.

Patrick, would you like to declare any relevant interests?

Patrick Harvie (Glasgow) (Green)

I do not think that I have any interests that I am required to declare. My entry in the register of interests shows my membership of a number of organisations that might wish to submit evidence to the committee on the budget or other issues. I will draw attention to those memberships as and when it is relevant.

Thank you.
