Interests

The Deputy Convener (Bob Doris)

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the 33rd meeting in 2025 of the Social Justice and Social Security Committee. We have received apologies from Collette Stevenson.

Agenda item 1 is a declaration of interests. I welcome Claire Baker as a new member of the committee. It is good to have you here, Claire. I invite you to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee’s work.

Thank you, convener. I am pleased to join the committee. I do not have anything relevant to declare.

The Deputy Convener

Thank you.

We are also joined by David Torrance, who is substituting for Collette Stevenson. David, you have previously declared any relevant interests. You are more than welcome this morning as well.
