Interests

Good morning, and welcome to the 23rd meeting of the European and External Relations Committee in 2013. I make the usual request for mobile phones to be switched off.

I again welcome Patricia Ferguson. I convey apologies from Jamie McGrigor, and we send him our best wishes. We welcome Gavin Brown, who is substituting for Jamie McGrigor today. I ask Gavin to make a declaration of interests.

I have nothing to declare.

Thank you.

I also welcome to the committee Dr Daniel Kenealy, who will be our adviser on the Scottish Government’s white paper in relation to the European Union. Welcome to the committee, Dan.
