Good morning and welcome to the 19th meeting in 2017 of the Finance and Constitution Committee. Willie Coffey is not attending today, and in his place we have his committee substitute, Gordon MacDonald. Do you want to make a declaration of interests, Gordon?
I have no declarable interests, convener. I would like to apologise to the committee and the minister, as I will have to leave this meeting early in order to attend a meeting of the audit advisory board, which starts at 11 o’clock.
This is Gordon MacDonald’s first attendance at the meeting, which is why there was a requirement to ask if he had anything to declare.
This is Liam Kerr’s last appearance as a member of the committee. Liam, we have very much valued your contribution in the time that you have been on the committee and I thank you for all you have done over the past months. We look forward to Alexander Burnett taking your place after the summer.
Agenda item 1 is to decide whether to take item 3 in private. Do we agree to do so?
Members indicated agreement.
