Interests

The Convener (Margaret Mitchell):

I welcome everyone to the 14th meeting in 2008 of the Equal Opportunities Committee. I remind all those who are present that mobile phones and BlackBerrys should be completely switched off, as they interfere with the sound system even if they are switched to silent.

I welcome Malcolm Chisholm, who joins the committee to replace Richard Baker, and I record my thanks to Richard Baker for his contribution to the committee. I invite Malcolm Chisholm to declare any interests.

I declare that I am a member of the Educational Institute of Scotland, and of Unison.
