Interests

The Convener (Kevin Stewart)

Good morning and welcome to the sixth meeting in 2014 of the Local Government and Regeneration Committee. I ask everyone, including the folks in the public gallery, to ensure that they have switched off all mobile phones and other electronic equipment, please.

We have an apology from Stuart McMillan, who is unable to attend the meeting. I welcome Stewart Stevenson as the substitute member.

I welcome Alex Rowley to his first meeting of the committee. The first item on the agenda is to ask Alex whether he has any interests to declare.

Thank you, convener. I am still an elected councillor in Fife Council, and I am a member of the Fife Council pension scheme.
