The Deputy Convener (Willie Coffey)

Good morning, and welcome to the 13th meeting in 2025 of the Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee. I remind all members and witnesses to ensure that their devices are in silent mode and that all other notifications are turned off during the meeting.

I welcome our colleague Lorna Slater, who is attending as a substitute for Ariane Burgess, and invite her to declare any relevant interests.

I do not have any interests that are relevant to this committee’s work. Per my entry in the register of members’ interests, I used to work for Orbital Marine Power and I am a member of Unite the Union.
