Interests

The Convener (Clare Adamson)

Good morning, and welcome to the 13th meeting in 2018 of the Social Security Committee. I remind everyone to turn their mobile phones to silent, as they might disturb the broadcasting. No apologies have been received for today’s meeting.

We welcome Michelle Ballantyne to the committee for the first time. She is replacing Adam Tomkins. I invite Ms Ballantyne to declare any relevant interests.

The only thing that I should declare at this point is that I have just been made patron of a food bank. That will shortly appear in my entry in the register of members’ interests.
