Interests

The Convener (David Stewart)

Good morning and welcome to this meeting of the Public Petitions Committee. As always, I remind everyone to switch off their mobile phones and electronic devices, as they interfere with our sound systems.

I welcome David Torrance, who is a new member of the committee. He has replaced Adam Ingram. I place on record my thanks to Mr Ingram for his contribution to the committee’s work, and I am sure that all committee members will want the committee clerk to write to him to pass on condolences for his recent bereavement.

The first item on the agenda is a declaration of interests by David Torrance. In accordance with section 3 of the code of conduct, I invite Mr Torrance to declare any interests that are relevant to the committee’s remit.

I have no interests, apart from those that are registered.

Thank you very much.
