The Convener (Jackson Carlaw)

Good morning and welcome to the lucky 13th meeting of the Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee in 2025. We have received apologies from Maurice Golden, who is unable to be with us this morning.

Agenda item 1 is to acknowledge the contribution of Foysol Choudhury to the work of the committee for the last while and to welcome in his place Davy Russell, who is our new committee member. I invite Davy to declare any interests relevant to the work of the committee.

I have no relevant interests other than what is in my entry in the register of members’ interests.

The Convener

That is fine—thank you very much and welcome to the committee. You joined us on our visit to Wishaw neonatal unit on Monday, so you have had an external visit with the committee, but I welcome you to your first formal meeting. You will see that we are very convivial and jolly and we will all get through this in a spirit of co-operation and non-partisanship.
