Interests

The Deputy Convener (Bob Doris)

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the 24th meeting in 2024 of the Social Justice and Social Security Committee. We have received apologies from Collette Stevenson, and I welcome David Torrance, who is attending as a substitute.

Under agenda item 1, I invite David Torrance to declare any relevant interests.

I have no relevant interests to declare.

I understand that Jeremy Balfour also wishes to make a comment at this point.

Just for the avoidance of doubt, I remind members that I am in receipt of a higher rate of personal independence payment. I am also a former member of the tribunals service.

Thank you for putting that on the record.
