Interests

Welcome to the 21st meeting in 2019 of the Local Government and Communities Committee. I remind everyone present to turn off mobile phones.

I warmly welcome Sarah Boyack to the committee. Sarah replaces Alex Rowley, who has taken on a different role with his party. I record the committee’s thanks to Alex for his service to the committee.

For agenda item 1, I ask Sarah Boyack to say whether she has any relevant interests to declare.

I will be submitting my formal declaration of interests next week, but for the committee the only thing that I think I should mention is my membership of the trade unions Unison and Community.
