Interests

I welcome committee members, the press and members of the public to the 12th meeting of the Public Audit Committee this year. I especially welcome Sandra White, who joins us to replace George Adam, who has now joined the Health and Sport Committee.

I also especially welcome Gil Paterson, who is here as a substitute. Humza Yousaf was promoted to the front bench last week and, as such, is no longer a member of the committee. He has not been replaced yet, but the rules allow for Gil to act as a substitute, which he has done on previous occasions—he is no stranger to the committee. I dropped a line to Humza congratulating him, in part on behalf of the committee, and thanking him for his contribution to the committee during his time on it.

I ask that everybody put their mobile phones off.

Apologies have been received from Tavish Scott.

Agenda item 1 is a declaration of interests. I ask Sandra White to declare any relevant interests that she might have.

I have no relevant interests to declare.

Thank you.
