Interests

As I said, Jackie Baillie is a new member of the committee and I invite her to declare any interests.

I have nothing formal to declare, but in light of the committee's interest in the Borders—specifically the education department of Scottish Borders Council—I should say that my partner is a full-time trade union official with the GMB and represents some of the employees who are affected by the inquiry.

Thank you, Jackie. It is important that we register that fact.
