Interests

The Convener (Christina McKelvie)

Good morning and welcome to the 19th meeting in 2017 of the Equalities and Human Rights Committee. I make the usual request that mobile phones and digital devices be switched off or switched to flight mode.

We have received apologies from our colleague David Torrance. I am sure that we send our best wishes to him.

Under agenda item 1, I invite Jamie Greene MSP, who is a new member of our committee, to make a declaration of interests.

My only interest that is relevant to the committee is that I am a co-convener of the cross-party group on LGBTI+.

Thanks very much, Jamie, and welcome to the committee. We look forward to working with you.
