Interests

Welcome to the sixth meeting of the Edinburgh Tram (Line One) Bill Committee. On behalf of the Parliament and the remaining members of the committee, I record my thanks to the members who have left the committee, Dr Sylvia Jackson and Michael Matheson, for their contribution. I welcome Helen Eadie and Rob Gibson, who are the replacement members. The other committee members and I look forward to working with them.

I invite the new members to declare any interests.

Thank you for that warm welcome. I refer to the register of members' interests on the Parliament website—I have nothing to add to what is declared there.

As far as I know, I have no interests to declare in relation to the bill.

What about singing?

Singing is not included.

We will now move into private session to consider the timetable, topics and witnesses for our consideration of the adequacy of the accompanying documents. For the benefit of Helen Eadie and Rob Gibson, who were not present at the time, I point out that we agreed to take the item in private purely to enable a fuller discussion. I intend to publish the agreed timetable, topics and witnesses following the meeting.

Meeting continued in private until 13:03.
