Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee

Meeting date: Tuesday, June 14, 2016

Interests

John Scott (Ayr) (Con)

Good morning. As the oldest member of the committee, it falls to me to chair the first two items on today’s agenda. I welcome members to the first meeting in 2016 of the newly established Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee.

As is normal, I ask everyone to turn off mobile phones. I advise colleagues that apologies have been received from Elaine Smith, who cannot be with us today.

The first agenda item is to allow members to declare any interests that they have that are relevant to the work of the committee—bearing in mind the notes that we received on the issue. I begin by declaring my own interests as a farmer and as a landowner, and I invite others to do the same.

I have no relevant interests to declare.
