The first agenda item is a declaration of interests by a new committee member.
I declare an interest in that I have run an economic consultancy for about 12 years. I no longer do consultancy work in Scotland, but I occasionally provide advice and consultancy support overseas. It is not a multimillion-pound business, but my interest is registered with the clerk to the Standards Committee.
That is appropriate, given that the convener of the Standards Committee is present. I use this opportunity to thank Brian Adam, who will leave our committee after this meeting, for all that he has done over the past 14 months or so. I am not quite sure what his pastures new are—he has a member's bill and front-bench duties and so on—but, on behalf of the committee, I record our thanks for all his work on the committee's programme.
Hear, hear.
