Interests

The Convener (Clare Haughey)

Good morning. I welcome members to the 10th meeting in 2018 of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee.

Under agenda item 1 we welcome our new member, Tom Mason. He joins us to replace Alexander Stewart, whom I thank for all his hard work on the committee. I ask Tom to declare any relevant interests.

Tom Mason (North East Scotland) (Con)

Thank you, convener. I declare that I am a councillor on Aberdeen City Council and that my salary from that is donated to two Aberdeen charities. I am also a senior partner with the Beel partnership, a firm that provides market and corporate advice.

In addition to my home in Aberdeen, I own a share in a small cottage—more a shack—in the Highlands and Islands local authority area.

I am also a member of the certification board of Accura, which is a food inspection and certification company.

Thank you, Tom.
