Welcome to this meeting of the Communities Committee. I welcome in particular Linda Fabiani and Christine Grahame, who have now joined the committee. We record our thanks to Sandra White and Stewart Stevenson for their work during their time on the committee. Sandra White was on the committee only for a short time, but Stewart Stevenson, along with the rest of us, worked hard on matters relating to the committee.
I am a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Housing, a member of the Transport and General Workers Union and a trustee of a charity called Just World Partners, which is based in Scotland.
Thank you. I invite Christine Grahame to declare any relevant interests.
I will take the belt-and-braces approach. I do not know whether this is relevant to the committee, but I am a member of the Law Society of Scotland and the National Union of Journalists.
Thank you very much.
