Interests

Welcome to the fourth meeting this year of the European and External Relations Committee.

I welcome our new members, Sandra White and Michael Matheson, and invite them to declare any relevant interests.

I look forward to working on and with the committee. I have no interests to declare.

I am delighted to join the committee. I refer members to my declaration of interests, and I should point out that I am co-chair of the cross-party group on Malawi, and sit on the Scottish Government's international development advisory group.

I am sure that the committee would like me to place on record our thanks to Keith Brown and Alex Neil for the work that they did and the commitment that they showed to the committee's work during their time with us.
