Interests

The Convener (Johann Lamont)

Welcome to the sixth meeting in 2018 of the Public Petitions Committee. I remind members and others in the room to switch phones and other devices to silent mode. We have received apologies from Angus MacDonald and Brian Whittle; Graeme Dey and Maurice Corry are attending as their substitutes, and I welcome both to the meeting. Maurice has been here before, both as a member of the committee and as a substitute. It is Graeme’s first attendance, so I invite him to declare relevant interests.

Graeme Dey (Angus South) (SNP)

Thank you, convener. I do not think that there is anything in particular that I should declare, other than that, in respect of petition PE1632, I should perhaps confirm that I am a co-convener of the cross-party group on carers.

Thank you.
