Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and a warm welcome to the second meeting in 2013 of the Referendum (Scotland) Bill Committee. We have a good audience today. I ask everyone to switch off mobile phones.

Apologies have been received from Patricia Ferguson and Stewart Maxwell. Richard Baker and Bill Kidd are attending as their substitutes. We have also had an apology from Tavish Scott but unfortunately Willie Rennie, who is the substitute, is not available.

I welcome Richard Baker to the committee—I am sure that you will enjoy the proceedings when you are here. Do you have any declarations?

I am a director of Better Together 2012 Ltd.

Okay. Thank you very much for putting that on the record.
