Interests
Good afternoon and welcome to the first meeting of the Baird Trust Reorganisation Bill Committee. I am distinguished by being the committee's oldest member—possibly the oldest member in the world—so I will chair the meeting until we choose a convener.
The first agenda item is declaration of interests. The declaration is a statutory requirement, so I advise committee members to err on the side of caution and declare any interest that would prejudice or appear to prejudice their ability to participate in a disinterested manner in the committee's proceedings. I ask members to indicate if they have anything to declare.
As we have no declarations, we will proceed to the next agenda item.
