Good morning. I ask members to nominate a temporary convener.

I nominate Michelle Ballantyne.

Thank you. Does the committee agree to my being appointed as temporary convener for today’s meeting until the committee appoints a convener?

Members indicated agreement.

The Temporary Convener (Michelle Ballantyne)

Thank you. I welcome everyone to the 17th meeting in 2018 of the Social Security Committee, and remind everyone to turn mobile phones or other devices to silent mode, so that we do not disrupt the meeting.

Apologies have been received from Mark Griffin. Pauline McNeill will join us shortly—she is running late.
