Interests

Good afternoon everyone, and welcome to the 16th meeting this year of the Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change Committee. I remind members, witnesses and everyone else present to switch off any mobile devices.

I record apologies from Cathy Peattie and Rob Gibson. At some point during the meeting we expect to welcome Alasdair Allan as a committee substitute.

We have two items on the agenda today, the first of which is a declaration of interests. I welcome Jackson Carlaw MSP, and invite him to declare any relevant interests .

Convener, I draw members’ attention to my entry in the register of members’ interests. Beyond that, as I am convener of the Forth Crossing Bill Committee, I might be circumscribed in participating in certain matters arising from the project.

Understood. Thank you. I record the committee’s thanks to Jackson Carlaw’s predecessor, Alex Johnstone from the Conservative party, for his contribution to the committee’s work over the past few years.
