Interests

The Convener (Murdo Fraser)

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the 22nd meeting in 2014 of the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee. I welcome members and our witnesses. I remind everyone to turn off, or at least turn to silent, all mobile phones and other electronic devices so that they do not interfere with the recording equipment.

We have received apologies from two members: Alison Johnstone and Jenny Marra. Sorry, that is complete nonsense—we have apologies only from Alison Johnstone. The extended recess has affected my concentration.

We are joined by Patrick Harvie, who is here as a substitute. I do not think that he has stated in the current session whether he has any interests that are relevant to the committee’s work, so I invite him to do so now.

Temporary loss of sound.
