Agenda item 2 is to invite Alexander Burnett to declare any interests he has that are relevant to the committee’s work.
I make a declaration on my registrable interests. I own and manage property, including agricultural, residential and commercial lettings, which are for recreational and sporting usage and forestry. I also own shares in a renewable energy company, and I hold remunerated positions in companies relating to those matters.
Thank you very much, and welcome to the committee. As I said, we have been joined by Peter Chapman this morning. I offer him the opportunity to declare any interests.
I am a partner in P Chapman & Co, which is a farming business. I am also a director of Redbog Renewables Ltd, which is a business that has wind turbines. I am a member of the National Farmers Union Scotland, and I am a director of Aberdeen and Northern Marts Group. Everything is declared in the register of members’ interests.
Thank you very much, and welcome to today’s meeting.
Since the previous meeting, I have been made deputy convener of the Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee. I just wanted to put that on the record.
Thank you.
