Interests

Good morning. I welcome everyone to the fifth meeting in 2012 of the Infrastructure and Capital Investment Committee. I remind everyone to switch off their mobile phones—I forgot to do so myself—because they affect the broadcasting system.

The first agenda item is a declaration of interests. I welcome the new member, Aileen McLeod, and invite her to declare any relevant interests.

Thank you, convener. I am delighted to be joining the committee, having come from the Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment Committee. I have no registrable interests to declare that are relevant to this committee’s remit.

Thank you. I add a specific welcome, because we have gone from just one female member on the committee to three in the space of a couple of months, which is very pleasing.

I record the committee’s thanks to Jamie Hepburn for his valuable contribution to the committee’s work in his role as deputy convener and European Union reporter.
