Interests

Good afternoon and welcome to the sixth meeting in 2006 of the European and External Relations Committee. We have apologies from Gordon Jackson, who is elsewhere on parliamentary business, and John Home Robertson has given me notice that he will have to leave early to attend to constituency matters.

No, I am going to another committee meeting.

Sorry, I picked that up wrongly.

I welcome to the committee a new member, Bruce Crawford. Perhaps I should say, "Welcome back," because I know that he was a member of the committee before I joined it. I want to raise with members a matter arising from the previous committee meeting, but before I do so, I invite Bruce Crawford to declare any relevant interests so that he can take part in any discussion.

I am sorry, but this will take for ever because I have so many interests to list.

In fact, I have no interests to declare.
