Our first agenda item is the declaration of interests by our two new members. I welcome Des McNulty and Tom McCabe to the committee and invite them to declare any interests.
I am a member of the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body, which I suppose is a relevant interest. I am also the deputy chairman of an organisation called the Wise Group, which receives funding from the Scottish Executive. I do that work in an entirely voluntary and unpaid capacity.
I am a member of the Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Union. As far as I know, and on the basis of surface-level advice that I have taken so far, that is all that I require to declare, other than the fact that Celtic is 12 points ahead in the league.
I am sure that that is all good and that it keeps us happy.
